Question

A difference of $1^{o}C$ on a Celsius scale equal to $\frac{5}{9}$ ${}^{o}F$ on a Fahrenheit scale.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Relationship between Celcius and Fahrenheit scale is given by

$F=\frac{9}{5}C+32$

Thus difference in temperature $\Delta F=\frac{9}{5}\Delta C$

So, difference of $1^{o}C$ on a Celsius scale is equal to ${\frac{9}{5}}^{o}F$ on a Fahrenheit scale.

The above statement is false.
