Asked in a 2000 paper

High temperature of around 2000°C of incandescent gas mantles is measured by a/an __________________?

Correct answer: C. Radiation pyrometer

  • A. Specially designed thermocouple
  • B. Optical pyrometer
  • C. Radiation pyrometer
  • D. None of these

Explanation

A radiation pyrometer determines high temperature from the thermal radiation emitted by the hot body, making it suitable for temperatures near 2000°C. Unlike a contact instrument, it can measure incandescent gas mantles without touching them.
