temperatuurinäiduna
Temperatuurinäiduna, often translated as temperature indicator or thermometer, refers to a device used to measure temperature. These devices operate on various principles, exploiting the physical properties of materials that change with temperature. Common types include mercury thermometers, which rely on the thermal expansion of mercury, and alcohol thermometers, using colored alcohol for visibility. Digital thermometers, increasingly popular, use electronic sensors like thermistors or thermocouples that convert temperature into an electrical signal, which is then displayed numerically.
The applications of temperatuurinäiduna are vast, spanning everyday life, scientific research, and industrial processes. In households,
