Q:
| A) These are two independent temperature scales | B) T = tc |
| C) T = tc - 273.15 | D) T = tc + 273.15 |
Answer: D) T = tc + 273.15
Explanation:
Explanation:
Lord Kelvin, working in Scotland, developed the Kelvin scale in 1848. His scale uses molecular energy to define the extremes of hot and cold. Absolute zero, or 0 K, corresponds to the point at which molecular energy is at a minimum. The Kelvin scale is preferred in scientific work, although the Celsius scale is also commonly used. Temperatures measured on the Kelvin scale are reported simply as K, not °K.
T (in °C) + 273.15 = T (in K)
T (in K) − 273.15 = T (in °C)
