Sub-zero temperature (< 0°C) can be measured by a constant volume gas thermometer employing ?

Correct answer: A. Helium

  • A. Helium
  • B. Nitrogen
  • C. Hydrogen
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Helium is preferred for sub-zero gas thermometry because it remains gaseous at much lower temperatures and behaves nearly ideally over a wide low-temperature range. Its low boiling point makes it more suitable than nitrogen for low-temperature measurement.
