Why is the bulb of thermometer made of thin glass?
The bulb thermometer is made of thin glass so as to detect the slightest change in temperature. It is made of thin glass for visibility as well.
Why is the glass on the bulb of a clinical thermometer so thin?

Why is a thermometer glass so thin?
The glass is so thin so it can tell the tempature. If the glass were thicker, the thermomiter would be wrong.
What is light bulb filament?
It is the extremely thin wire inside the bulb. It is so thin that when the electricity goes through produce light, when that filament breaks the bulb is not good.
Why is the glass of a thermometer so thin?
Glass is a bad conductor of heat, it has to be thin. So that heat should eventually pass to the mercury. And for that purpose we have to keep thermometer for at least two minutes in position.

Why is there so little air in the glass bulb?
there are a little air in the surrounding
Could an ordinary glass can serve as the glass bulb of a bulb?
Sure. But before you can use it to provide light, you need to find a way to take all the air out of it, and seal it so that no air gets back in. If air gets into a light bulb, the bulb immediately burns out.
What is the best way to get the end of a light bulb off so you have a hollow glass shell?
Run a diamond glass scribe completely around the neck of the bulb back to the starting point. Tap the cut with the handle of the scribe and remove the inner section. Be aware that the inner section is larger that the neck of the bulb and some pieces may break off on removal.
What does the glass bead do on a light bulb?
it separates the filament and supports so they won't touch
What will happen if you try to complete a circut by joining the glass of a light bulb to the batttery?
The glass of the light bulb is not conductive, so the circuit would not be completed. You would need to join the wires to the positive and negative contacts on the base of the bulb for the circuit to work.
What are incandescent bulbs?
An incandescent light bulb is your common household bulb. It is best identified by the presence of a filament (the thin piece of wire in the center of the glass bulb that glows when turned on.) The incandescent bulb's interior space is a vacuum (all the air is removed) so that the filament doesn't burn up. It produces a warm, slightly gold/yellow light. A "florescent" bulb, on the other hand, has no filament. It works by electrically exiting gas in a long tube creating a cool white light with almost the same color as the sun.
Why does an electric bulb bang when it is broken?
Light bulbs have most of the air removed, that is there is a partial vacuum inside the bulb. So, when they break atmospheric pressure pushes the on the glass where it is weakened and air rushes somewhat violently into the bulb.
