Answer to Problem 1RQ

The temperature is defined as the level of heat.The correct option is (b)

Explanation of Solution

The temperature is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. But according to the question, temperature can also be defined as the level of heat.

Consider an example of a glass filled with boil water and ice cream. Here, ice cream is colder than the glass of boiling water with respect to atmosphere. Temperature is usually measured by thermometer. Thermometers can be classified into three types on the basis of the units of the temperature. They are as follows-

  1. Celsius thermometer.
  2. Fahrenheit thermometer.
  3. Kelvin thermometer.

The Celsius thermometer is used to measure the temperature in degree Celsius.

The Fahrenheit thermometer is used to measure the temperature in degree Fahrenheit.

The Kelvin thermometer is used to measure the temperature in Kelvin.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is (b).
