∙ 10y ago1.) The thermometer should be kept upright not tilted.
2.) The bulb of the thermometer should be surrounded from all sides by the substance of which the temperature is to be measured.
3.) The bulb should no touch the surface of the container.

∙ 7y ago- Avoid kicking thermometer to not destroy it. It is expensive and if contain mercury this it's toxic.
- Don't work with thermometers containing air in the column of liquid.
- Use each thrmometer only in the recommended range.
- Use thermometers after labelled instructions for immersion.
- Read correctly at the temperature (at meniscus).

Never hold the thermometer by the bulb while reading it. Wash the thermometer with water or antiseptic solution before and after use. While performing the experiment, don't touch the bulb of the thermometer with the wall of the beaker. Read the thermometer keeping the level of mercury along the line of sight.

Can you use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
No The temperature of the candle flame is out of the temperature range of the clinical thermometer.
Can you measure the temperature of hot tea with a clinical thermometer and why?
No, the temperature of hot tea is substantially higher than the maximum that a clinical thermometer is designed for.
What would happen if you used a clinical thermometer to measure a hot drink?
It would break down
Why we cannot you use your hand to measure temperature?
You cannot use laboratory thermometer to measure human body temp because of its markings. It is designed to measure large scale temperatures and therefore it may be hard to read the exact bocy temperature.
How do thermometers and radar and sonar measure?
Sonar ( sound Navigation and Ranging) is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater) to navigate communicate with or detect other vessels (it mainly measures under water distances)A radar system has a transmitter that emits magnetic waves When they come into contact with an object they are scattered in all directions. The signal is thus partly reflected back and it has a slight change of wavelength , if the target is moving. The receiver is usually in the same location as the transmitter. Although the signal returned is usually very weak, the signal can be amplified through use of electronic techniques in the receiver and in the antenna configuration. This enables a radar to detect objects at ranges where other emissions from the target object, would be too weak to detect .(thus it measures microscopic or even large movements)3.thermometer simply measures the heat(thermal)i.e,the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius subsequently a clinical thermometer measures the temperature of our body

What kind of thermometer you use to measure the body temperature
What instrument measures body temperature?
A thermometer is used to meusure your body temperature either it can be clinical thermometer or digital thermometer.
Can a clinical thermometer measure the temperature of coffee tea?
yes. it's a thermometer.
Why can you not use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
We cannot use a clinical thermometer to measure temperature of a candle flame because then the mercury will expand too much and the thermometer will explode.
Can you measure temperature of hot tea with a clinical thermometer?
no. as the clinical thermometr will burst
