Kink in the Mercury thermometer helps to prevents the falling of mercury present in capillary  tube into bulb. It ensures that the user takes the correct reading of temperature. That's the reason a person before taking a new reading must give a sudden shake to the clinical thermometer so that the mercury level comes to normal .

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

What value relates the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a given material? A) angle of incidence B) angle of r
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

C) Index of refraction

Explanation:

Index of refraction also known as refractive index is defined as speed of light in a vacuum divided by the speed of light in a given material.

The formula for Index of refraction is:

n = c ÷ v

where n represents Index of refraction,

c represents speed of light in a vacuum,

v represents speed of light in a given material.

The speed and direction of light changes when it moves from one medium to another. The change in direction is basically called refraction.
