What is the sensitivity of an instrument?
The sensitivity of an instrument is the smallest amount it can measure, of whatever it's built to measure.Anything smaller than the sensitivity of the instrument, and the instrument doesn't even notice it.For example, a laboratory scale can measure the weight of a hair, but a truck scale can't. We say that thelaboratory scale's sensitivity is much smaller (or lower) than the truck scale's sensitivity.
Which thermometer would you use to measure the temperature of the body temperature of a patient?
Clinical thermometer
What type of the thermometer would use to measure the temperature of ice?
dial thermometer
What would you measure using a thermometer?

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop?
Water Temperaure cools
Is the thermometer reading the temperature of the vacuum at the Moon's surface?
No. The thermometer measures the temperature of mass or material. Concerning the moon, a thermometer could measure the temperature of dust or rock on the surface. If it were not in contact with the surface, and the sun shone on it, the thermometer would read the temperature to which the sun heated it. If it were shielded from the sun, then the thermometer would read the temperature of space ... about 3 K, or darn near absolute zero.

You would want the highest sensitivity you can get.
Do some HDTVs have greater sensitivity than others?
Picture quality would a better way to state it. The best sets are the 1080i and 1080p type.

What is the name of an instrument which measures heat and cold?
That would be a thermometer.
What material refracts the most?
Light does not refract via a single material. Refraction occurs when light passes from one material into another of a different density. It is the amount of difference in densities that causes the refraction. The greater the difference the greater the refraction. I believe that the densest material would be diamond, so light passing through a diamond and into a vacuum would seem to be the greatest difference, causing the greatest refraction.
