Question

A clinical thermometer is used to

• A. measure temperature of hot milk
• B. measure body temperature
• C. measure temperature of ice cold water
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

measure body temperature

A clinical thermometer has the range of ${35}^{\circ }C$ to ${42}^{\circ }C$. So, it is used to measure body temperature. However measuring temperature of hot milk or ice cold water is not feasible because these temperatures lie outside the range of clinical thermometer.
