Question

The clinical thermometer has graduations for a short range

• A. $35°Cto42°C$
• B. $0°Cto100°C$
• C. $273Kto300K$
• D. $30°Cto37°C$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$35°Cto42°C$

1. The temperature range of a clinical thermometer is quite narrow, ranging from 35°C to 42°C.
2. The limited range of a clinical thermometer is owing to the fact that the human body's temperature rarely falls below 35°C or rises over 42°C.

Hence, option A is correct.
