1.Give TWO reasons why the clinical thermometer covers just a narrow range of temperatures.
2.The clinical thermometer has a constriction.The constriction prevents the mercury from falling.back into the bulb when the thermometer is removed from the body.Why do we needto prevent the mercury from falling back?
3.To make the thermometer respond quickly to a change in temperature,how should the glass wall of the bulb be designed?
4.To make the thermometer more accurate,how should the bore be designed?
