Measurement of Temperature and Thermometers problem 10


We have two alcohol thermometers with the same size flasks. The flasks are filled with colored alcohol. The left thermometer has a wider measuring tube than the right (see picture). On which thermometer will the alcohol rise higher when both thermometers are moved to a warmer place?
