<em>"A concave lens is thinner at the center than it is at the edges."</em>
If this isn't on the list of choices, that's tough. We can't help you choose the best one if we don't know what any of them is.
1 year = (365 / 121) = 3.02 half-lifes. Let's call it 3 .
The amount of radioactive isotope remaining after 3 half-lifes is
(1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/8
A year after the medical lab received the 24 kg of W-181,
there will still be 24 kg of stuff in the container.
But only 3 kg of it will still be W-181. The other 21 kg will be
whatever substances W-181 becomes when it decays.
Sadly, even the 3 kg of good stuff won't be usable anymore ...
it'll be thoroughly mixed with the 21 kg of junk. It would be harder
and more expensive to try and separate them than to buy a new
can of pure W-181, and USE it before 7/8 of it has deteriorated.
Answer:
The reason is to allow the thermometer to respond relatively quickly, and relatively accurately. The glass contains the liquid being used in the thermometer, but if it is too thick, then it will not pass heat as quickly, and it will absorb some of the heat from whatever is being measured.
