Why is a clinical thermometer not used to measure the temperature of air?

When we use a clinical thermometer we require longer time to register the temperature of a human body than to shake it down to the initial ambient temperature. This observation can be due to

To measure temperature, most accurately one should use

A 100 W tungsten light bulb has a resistance of 250Omega when it as turned ON and 25Omega when turned OFF. The ambient room temperture is 25^(@)C . Find the temperature of the filament when the bulb is turned ON, ( Let alpha_("tungsten")=4.5xx10^(-3)//^(@)C )

Two thermometers are constructed in the same way except that one has a spherical bulb and the other a cylindrical bulb, which one will respond quickly to temperature changes?
