Thermometers | MCQs

Explanation

Explanation

The Pyrometer is used for measuring very high temperatures.

Pyrometers can measure temperatures without direct contact.

This making them ideal for extreme conditions.

Explanation

• Laboratory thermometers typically have a lower temperature range than clinical thermometers, and are designed to measure temperatures in a laboratory setting.
• The lowest temperature in a laboratory thermometer is often around -10°C or even lower, depending on the specific thermometer.

Explanation

When handling a clinical thermometer, you should:

• Wash it before use (to ensure cleanliness and accuracy)
• Stay at one place (to avoid moving around and potentially breaking the thermometer)
• Place it in a cover after use (to protect the thermometer from damage and contamination)

But you should not Run while handling a clinical thermometer, as this could cause the thermometer to break or become damaged.

Explanation

• Clinical thermometers, also known as medical thermometers.
• It typically have a narrow range of 35°C to 42°C.
• Which covers the normal body temperature range of humans (37°C ± 2°C).
• This allows for accurate measurements of body temperature in medical settings.

Explanation

• Laboratory thermometers typically have a range of 10°C to 110°C.
• It allowing for precise temperature measurements in a variety of laboratory settings.

Explanation

• The temperature range of the clinical thermometer is 94°F to 108°F.
• A clinical thermometer is a device that measures the temperature of the body.
• A mercury bulb is located at the end of a long, narrow glass tube.
• The average body temperature is 37° C, but it can range between 35 and 42° C.

Explanation

• A thermometer is typically made up of a glass tube filled with Mercury (Hg), a silvery-white liquid metal.
• The Mercury expands or contracts in response to changes in temperature, allowing us to measure the temperature.
