Answer: The kink prevents the mercury present in the capilalry to fall back into the bulb . So it seperates the high temperature mercury and cool mercury and allows the user to take a reading when the thermometer is taken out .

Answer:

A kink in the tube stops the mercury level from falling on its own.

  • These thermometers are used in clinics by doctors, so they are also called a doctor's thermometers or medical thermometers.
