Questions  

For a constant volume gas thermometer select the correct statement.

a
It doesn’t use mercury for pressure measurement
b
We actually measure the pressure at constant volume and the scale is calibrated to give the temperature reading
c
Any high density gas can be used
d
Pressure ∝ Temp2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

A constant volume gas thermometer has a mercury manometer connected to a gas bulb. With increase in temperature of the bulb, its volume is kept constant by external methods and the pressure of gas increases. The temperature scale is defined as a function of this pressure. (T = kP, where k is a constant).
