Celsius and Kelvin scale are related as (C/5)=(F-32/9) or (-273.15/5)=(F-32/9) ⇒ F=-459.67 oF

Q. If absolute zero is $- 273.15^{\circ} C$ on Celsius temperature scale, then the absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale is

$- 273.15^{\circ} F$

$- 453.15^{\circ} F$

$- 459.67^{\circ} F$

$- 491.67^{\circ} F$

Celsius and Kelvin scale are related as $\frac{C}{5} = \frac{F - 32}{9}$ or $\frac{- 273.15}{5} = \frac{F - 32}{9}$ $\Rightarrow$ $F = - 459.67^{o} F$

Q. If absolute zero is −273.15∘C on Celsius temperature scale, then the absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale is

−273.15∘F

−453.15∘F

−459.67∘F

−491.67∘F
