What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on on end that contains liquid usually mercury?
It is a thermometer, and is used to show the temperature.
Why is a thermometer glass so thin?
The glass is so thin so it can tell the tempature. If the glass were thicker, the thermomiter would be wrong.
Why is the glass of a thermometer so thin?
Glass is a bad conductor of heat, it has to be thin. So that heat should eventually pass to the mercury. And for that purpose we have to keep thermometer for at least two minutes in position.
Describe the structure of a thermometer?
The thermometer consists of a very fine glass tube having a very small bore and is called capillary tube. At one end of capillary tube a very thin glass bulb is provided. The bulb is filled with mercury( most of the times) or alcohol The other end of capillary tube is sealed. The capillary tube is protected by a thick glass tube called stem. On the stem are made markings. These markings are called graduations or degrees.

What is in a thin glass tube with a bulb on the end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a glass thermometer.
What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a glass thermometer.
Why is the glass around the bulb in a thermometer relatively thin?
The glass around the bulb in a clinical thermometer (the conventional one) is thin because glass is not a good conductor of heat. The clinician and the patient don't want to wait half an hour to get a good temperature reading. By using the thinner glass, the transfer of heat into the thermometer's fluid will be more rapid than it would with an instrument with thicker glass.

What is the function of the glass bulb on a lamp?
The glass bulb of a light bulb is known as the globe. It is made from a thin layer of glass to ensure light efficiency and still support the rest of the bulb.
What is the thin glass tube with a bulb on one end that contaubs a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a thermometer, used for recording temperature.
Why is a bulb made of thin glass?
because if its thick the light would be blocked.
