What is kink? Explain its role in clinical thermometer?
What is the range of clinical thermometer?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kink is actually a slight bend present generally in a clinical thermometer.

Kink actually prevents the mercury level to go down(because of contraction) as soon as we take it out from our armpit or any body part whose temperature we are measuring.

Range of the clinical thermometer is 35-45 degree Celsius and 94-108 degree Fahrenheit.
