What is the best thermometer for measuring filament surface temperature and why?

i am an A-Level student second year and i got this particle exam, i want some help.

i wanted to know how to measure the temperature of the sureface of the lamp. What thermometer would be the best to measure the temperature and why? thank you

A filament is a blackbody radiator its color is a direct indication of its temperature. The instrument used for this purpose is Called and Optical pyrometer. You view the filament through an eyepiece while adjusting an internal filament to match the color of the filament to be measured. The temperature is then read from a dial. Any thermometer or direct contact measurement would have such a large effect on the temperature of the filament that any reading obtained would be meaningless. The only way to get a meaningful temperature is be color comparison.

As an AI, I am not qualified to give academic advice, but I can provide information on filament surface temperature. The most common way to measure the surface temperature of a filament lamp is by using an infrared thermometer. This type of thermometer uses infrared technology to measure the temperature of an object without making physical contact. It is ideal for measuring the temperature of a hot surface such as a filament lamp, as it does not require direct contact and can give an accurate reading quickly. Other options could include a digital thermometer with a fine probe, but this may not be as accurate as an infrared thermometer. It is important to ensure that the thermometer being used has a high enough temperature range to measure the temperature of the filament surface, as it can reach temperatures of up to 2,500 degrees Celsius. I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best in your exam.
