Why is the clinical thermometer shorter than the mercury thermometer?
Mercury expand more easily.so it need large space
Mention any two points of difference between a clinical thermometer and an ordinary mercury thermometer?
A clinical thermometer will offer more precise calibrated readings than a mercury thermometer. The range of measurable temperature differs between a clinical and a mercury thermometer with the mercury thermometer having the wider range.
Can you measure the temperature of a hot tea with a clinical thermometer?
No, the temperature of hot tea is substantially higher than the maximum that a clinical thermometer is designed for.
Can you use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
No, a clinical thermometer is not suitable for measuring the temperature of a candle flame. Candle flames burn at temperatures much higher than the range typically measured by a clinical thermometer. To measure the temperature of a candle flame, a specialized high-temperature thermometer or pyrometer would be more appropriate.
Can you measure the temperature of hot tea with a clinical thermometer and why?
No, a clinical thermometer is not suitable for measuring the temperature of hot tea as it is designed for measuring human body temperature. The high temperature of the hot tea could damage the clinical thermometer or give inaccurate readings. It is better to use a food thermometer designed for measuring the temperature of liquids.
Difference between clinical and a laboratory thermometer?
A clinical thermometer can only measure human body temperatures since it can measure no less than 35 degrees celcius and no more than 42 degrees celcius. An ordinary thermometer can measure and object or substance at any temperature. A clinical thermometer can only measure human body temperatures since it can measure no less than 35 degrees celcius and no more than 42 degrees celcius. An ordinary thermometer can measure and object or substance at any temperature.
Why is it more important to have a constriction in a clinical thermometer than in a laboratory?
It stays at the maximum point so you get an accurate reading
What is the best thermometer to use on people?
An aural (in ear) thermometer is a good modern device, and measures the temperature in the outer ear. It is more expensive than a mercury clinical thermometer, but is simpler to prepare between patients, and completely avoids the problems of broken glass thermometers, and spilt mercury. Mercury clinical thermometers are however quite cheap.
Why is it more important to have constriction in a clinical thermometer than in a laboratory one?
Constriction in a clinical thermometer allows for easier reading of temperature changes, important for quick diagnostics. In a laboratory thermometer, a wider range of temperatures may need to be measured with higher precision, so constriction is less important for quick readings.
What is range of clinical thermometer in Fahrenheit?
Because clinical thermometer is used in hospitals etc for checking temperature of a person and human temperature is not below than 95 degree F and not more than 110 degree F i.e 35 degree C and 42 degree C
What is the Reason for constriction in clinical thermometer?
Even after the removal of the thermometer right from the mouth of the patient the mercury which has been raised up will remain intact even though the temperature of the surroundings is less than the body temperature. So the physician can see the temperature without any hurry.
How to measure least count a clinical thermometer?
least count of thermometer = smallest calibration on thermometer / total no of divisions between zero & smallest calibration so if 0 10 20 30 these are calibration & 20 divisions are there between these calibartion than, LC = 10/20 = 0.5
