Final Answer:
The answer of the given statement that "Can both sensible heat and latent heat transfers be read with a thermometer" is 1) True
Step-by-step explanation:
Both sensible heat and latent heat transfers can be observed and measured using a thermometer. A thermometer is a device designed to measure temperature, and temperature changes are associated with heat transfer.
Sensible heat transfer involves changes in temperature that can be directly sensed or measured with a thermometer. For example, when you heat a substance, its temperature rises, and this change can be detected with a thermometer.
Latent heat transfer, on the other hand, involves a phase change without a change in temperature. While the temperature remains constant during a phase transition (such as the transition from a solid to a liquid), the energy absorbed or released is associated with latent heat.
While a thermometer alone might not capture the phase change, it can still measure the temperature changes before and after the transition.
In summary, a thermometer can be used to measure both sensible heat (temperature changes) and, indirectly, the effects of latent heat transfers.
Therefore the correct option is 1) True.
