(b) wide temperature range
(c) alcohol filled in a glass tube
(d) construction in a gkass tube

Answer 1

Answer:

construction in glass tube

Answer 2

(d) 'construction in a glass tube' is a 'feature' of the 'clinical thermometer'.

• The 'instrument' used to measure the 'temperature' of the 'human body' (especially the animal body) is called a 'medical thermometer' or 'clinical thermometer'.
• The 'apparatus' consists of a 'double-ended' glass tube or 'narrow capillary' in which 'mercury' is used as the 'expanding sensing fluid'. In English terms, this device is called "Clinical Thermometer" or "Medical Thermometer".
• The 'narrow' tube of the 'thermometer' is further narrowed near this gut. While measuring the 'temperature' of the body, the 'bulb' of the 'thermometer' should be placed under the 'tongue' or in the 'armpit' for a 'couple of minutes'. As a result, the 'mercury' in the 'bulb' warms the 'body'.
• According to the 'warmth' of the body, the 'mercury' in the 'bulb' increases in 'volume' and 'moves' easily through the gut and moves forward into the hole in the 'tube'. But when the 'mercury' in the 'bulb' is compressed in the 'cold', the 'mercury' that passes through the hole in the 'tube' can no longer go back into the 'bulb' through the 'gut'.
• As a result, the 'mercury' formula remains at the top of the 'thermometer'. This is why the 'mercury' does not come down even if the 'thermometer' is taken outside after taking the body's 'temperature'. 'Body temperature' indicates. As a result, it is 'convenient' to take readings from the 'thermometer'. Such a 'thermometer' is called a 'maximum thermometer'.
