Question

Why is a laboratory thermometer not used to measure body temperature?

Open in App
Solution

A laboratory thermometer is designed to measure high temperature ranges; therefore, the divisions marked in between the degrees are not equal to that of a clinical thermometer which is specifically designed for measuring small temperature ranges. The divisions marked on a clinical thermometer are accurate to measure the body temperature perfectly.
