प्रश्न
Which of the curves in the following figure represents the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures?
पर्याय
a
b
c
d
उत्तर
The correct option is (a).
Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures are related in the following way:
C = `5/9"F" - 160/9`
Here, F = temperature in Fahrenheit
C = temperature in Celsius
If this equation is plotted on the graph, then the curve will be represented by curve 'a' lying in the fourth quadrant with slope 5/9.

A resistance thermometer reads R = 20.0 Ω, 27.5 Ω, and 50.0 Ω at the ice point (0°C), the steam point (100°C) and the zinc point (420°C), respectively.
