Question

Write one similarity and two differences between laboratory thermometer and clinical thermometer short answer

Answer 1

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.
