At what temperature the centigrade (Celsius) and Fahrenheit, readings are the same [RPMT 1997] (a) – 40° (b) + 40° (c) 36.6° (d) – 37° 3. Standardisation of thermometers is obtained with [CPMT 1996] (a) Jolly's thermometer (b) Platinum resistance thermometer (c) Thermocouple thermometer (d) Gas thermometer 4. The gas thermometers are more sensitive than liquid thermometers because [CPMT 1993] (a) Gases expand more than liquids (b) Gases are easily obtained (c) Gases are much lighter (d) Gases do not easily change their states 5. Mercury thermometers can be used to measure temperatures upto [CBSE PMT 1992] (a) 100°C (b) 212°C (c) 360°C (d) 500°C 6. A constant volume gas thermometer shows pressure reading of 50 cm and 90 cm of mercury at 0°C and 100°C respectively.
