Concept explainers
At what temperature does the numerical reading on a Celsius thermometer equal that on a Fahrenheit thermometer?
Interpretation:
The temperature at which the numerical reading on a Celsius thermometer equal that on a Fahrenheit thermometer has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Kelvin scale:
- The absolute temperature scale is called as Kelvin scale.
- The smallest temperature by theoretical is 0K, it is known as the absolute zero temperature.
- The relationship between degrees Celsius and Kelvin is given by the equation given below:
- Conversion of temperature units in between degree Celsius and Kelvin is given by
Answer to Problem 1.67QP
The temperature at which the numerical reading on a Celsius thermometer equal that on a Fahrenheit thermometer is
Explanation of Solution
Different units are there to represent temperature scales.
Conversion of temperature units in between degree Celsius and Kelvin is given by
Thus the temperature at which the numerical reading on a Celsius thermometer equal that on a Fahrenheit thermometer is
The temperature at which the numerical reading on a Celsius thermometer equal that on a Fahrenheit thermometer was calculated.
