Question

The temperature of a body is increased from ${500}^{\circ }F$ to ${1000}^{\circ }F$. Find the corresponding rise in Kelving scale.

• A. $277.8K$
• B. $468K$
• C. $532K$
• D. $500K$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $277.8K$

The conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit scale is:
$\frac{C}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9}$

So, ${500}^{o}F={260}^{\circ }C$ and ${1000}^{o}F={537.80}^{\circ }C$
So, the change in the temperature on Celsius scale is $={277.8}^{\circ }C$ $=$ change in the temperature on Kelvin scale $=277.8K$
