A device for measuring temperatures at a distance is:
- A. gas thermometer
- B. mercury thermometer
- C. radiation pyrometer
- D. maximum-minimum thermometer
Step-by-step solution
A radiation pyrometer measures temperature by detecting thermal radiation emitted from an object, allowing non-contact temperature measurement from a distance. In contrast, a gas thermometer, mercury thermometer, and maximum-minimum thermometer all require direct contact with the object or medium being measured.
