I think I'll go with the infrared thermometer, thanks so much! Also do you think if the wire is steel (it's a guitar string) immersing it in water of a certain temperature for 15 minutes would be long enough to cause the steel to rise or fall to that temperature? I'm doing my lab on the affect...

I would like to alter the temperature in a why that will produce a constant heat across the wire--I would like to have five measurements of different temperatures in the end. However after altering the temperature I need to accurately measure the temperature of the wire to make sure that it is...

Hi, I'm doing a physics extended essay and my independent variable is the temperature of a copper wire. I need to be able to alter this temperature without connecting it to a circuit and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on whether there is a special type of equipment (such as a probe)...
