Question

1)what is the function of Kink in the clinical thermometer
2)define temperature
3)give the similarities and differences between the clinical thermometer and laboratory thermometer
4)why can the sunset not reach the earth Bai kind and conduction or convection

Answer 1

1) Kink prevents the mercury present in the capillary to fall back in the bulb so it seperates the mercury at high temperature and cools the mercury and allows the user to note the reading when thermometer is taken out .
2) a measure of warmth or coldness of an object or an substance with reference to some standard value is called a temperature.
3) Similarities
   i)the bulbs of both thermometeres have mercury in them.
   ii)both have long, narrow, uniform glass tubes.
   Diffrences
   i)the least count of both thermometers differs
   ii)unlike cli.ther. that can be tilted, lab.ther. is kept upright while reading

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Kink prevents the falling of mercury present in the capillary tube into bulb.

2. An universal instrument used to measure the temperature of a human body is called thermometer.

3. The difference between clinical thermometer and laboratory thermometer :

Clinical thermometer is used to measure the temperature of only body but laboratory thermometer is used for measuring temperatures other than the human body (whose temperature is greater than human body)

The similarity between clinical thermometer and laboratory thermometer:

They both are used to measure temperature and both of them use mercury.
