An instrument used to measure high temperature is
- A. Pyrheliometer
- B. Pyrometer
- C. Technometer
- D. Pyknometer
Step-by-step solution
A pyrometer is specifically designed to measure high temperatures, often by detecting thermal radiation. Pyrheliometer measures solar radiation, technometer (likely a misspelling) refers to tachometer for speed, and pyknometer measures density. Thus, the correct instrument for high temperature measurement is a pyrometer.
