Question

1. State similarities and differences between the laboratory thermometer
and the clinical thermometer.
h of conductors and insulators of heat.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. clinical thermometer is used to test the temperature of human body
2. the laboratory termometer helps to find temperature other than human bodies temperature

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Similarities between Clinical Thermometer and  a laboratory thermometer

Both are made of glass and consist of long narrow glass tube.

At one end both of them have a bulb.

Bulbs of both the thermometers consist of mercury

Celsius scale is present in both the thermometer

Differences----

Clinical Thermometer

Temperature range if 35 to 42 0 c

Used to measure human body temperature

It has kink which prevents immediate backflow of mercury

Laboratory thermometer

Temperature range is -10 to 110 0 c

Used to measure temperature in the laboratory

It does not have a kink

Similarities of conductors and insulators

Hardness and softness are features shared by conductors and insulators

High-density materials can exist as conductors or insulators

Conductors and insulators share this ultimate likeness at the atomic level.

Differences---

NSULATOR

An insulator is a substance or an object that does not allow heat to pass through it.

Non metals are insulators of heat.

For eg. Paper, diamond, wood etc.

CONDUCTORS

A conductor is a substance or an object that allows heat to pass through it.

Metals are conductors of heat.

For eg. Tungsten, silver, copper etc.
