Answer:
please Mark's as brainliest bcz I need it
Similarities:
(i) Both clinical and laboratory thermometers have long, narrow, uniform glass tubes.
(ii) The bulbs of both the thermometers have mercury in them.
Differences:
(i) The temperature range of clinical thermometers is from 35°C to 42°C while that of laboratory thermometer is from −10°C to 110°C.
(ii) Clinical thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a human body. However, laboratory thermometer cannot be used to measure the temperature of a human body.
(iii) The least count of both the thermometers differs.
(iv) Unlike clinical thermometer that can be tilted, laboratory thermometer is kept upright while reading the temperature values.
Answer:
Similarities:
(i) Both thermometers consist of long narrow uniform glass tubes.
(ii) Both have a bulb at one end.
(iii) Both contain mercury in bulb.
(iv) Both use Celsius scale on the glass tube.
Differences
i)Clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature and Laboratory thermometer is used to measure temperature of other materials other than body temperature.
(ii) A clinical thermometer reads temperature 35°C to 45°C while the range of laboratory
thermometer is -10°C to 110°C.
(iii) Clinical thermometer has a kink near the bulb while there is no kink in the laboratory
thermometer.
Due to kink mercury does not fall down on its own in clinical thermometer.
