the
is the function of Kink in
clinical thermometre?why are laboratory thermometer is not suitable for measuring human body temperature ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Specific features of the liquid-in-glass clinical thermometer are: A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

In a laboratory thermometer, kink is absent. This is because laboratory thermometer is meant to measures immediate temperature. Hence, after recording our body temperature, until we check it, the mercury will fall, thus not giving us an accurate reading.
