Distinguish Between
Solution
Fahrenheit Scale | Celcius Scale | Kelvin Scale | |
1. | 32°F and 212°F are the freezing and boiling points respectively. | 0°C and 100°C are the freezing and boiling points respectively. | OK represents absolute zero. 373.15k and 273.15k are boiling and freezing points respectively. |
2. | The interval has been divided into 180 parts. | The interval has been divided into 100 parts. | A one-degree difference in kelvin is equal to a one-degree difference in Celcius. |
3. | The formula for converting a Fahrenheit scale to a Celcius scale is – C = 5/9(F-32) | The formula for converting a Celcius scale to a Fahrenheit scale is
– F = 9/5C + 32 |
The formula for converting a Kelvin scale to a Celcius scale is
-C = K-273.15 |
4. | Also known as the centigrade scale. | Also known as an absolute scale. |
