Measurement of Temperature and Thermometers problem 15


We have two calibrated thermometers in a room. The first has a Celsius temperature scale and the second, a Kelvin scale. The first thermometer first shows . After a few hours, we read the temperature again using the other thermometer which shows .

  • What measurement does the thermometer with a Celsius temperature scale show in the second measurement?

  • Does the room temperature rise or fall?

  • Calculate the temperature change with the equation.
