On the other hand does Shyam does the same experiment with the thermometer touching the bottom of the beaker. Who is more likely to get an accurate reading?
Answer: Option A
:
A
Ram will get theaccurate result. This is because, when the thermometer touchesthe base of the container, itresults in the transfer of heat directly from the beakerto the thermometer. Thus Shyamwould not get the temperature of water accurately.
