Solution

i) Ice point: It is the point on the Celsius scale where ice starts melting. On the Celsius scale, the ice point is 0°C.

ii) Steam point: It is point on the Celsius scale where water starts turning into steam.
Steam point is at 100°C on the Celsius scale

A resistance thermometer reads R = 20.0 $Ω$ , 27.5 $Ω$ , and 50.0 $Ω$ at the ice point ( $0^{\circ} C$ ), the steam point ( $100^{\circ} C$ ) and the zinc point ( $420^{\circ} C$ ) respectively. Assuming that the resistance varies with temperature as $R_{θ} = R_{0} (1 + α θ + β θ^{2})$ , find the values of $R_{0}, α$ and $β$ . Here $θ$ represents the temperature on Celsius scale.
