Differentiate between the three temperature scales.

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.
