Two absolute scale `X` and `Y` have triple points of water defined to be `300 X` and `450 Y`. How are `T_(X)` and `T_(Y)` related to each other ?

Verified by Experts

Here, temperature `300` on absolute scale `Z = 273.16K` (Triple point of water)
` :. X = 273.16K` (Triple point of water)
`:."Value of temperature" T_(X)` on absolute
Scale `X = (273.16)/(300)T_(X)`
Similarly, value of temperature `T_(Y)` on absolute scale
` Y = (273.16)/(450)T_(Y)`
Since both these values are equal,
`(273.16)/(300)T_(X) = (273.16)/(450)T_(Y) :. T_(X) = (2)/(3)T_(Y)`

Answer the following : (a) The triple-point of water is a standard fixed point in modern thermometry. Why ? What is wrong in taking the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water as standard fixed points (as was originally done in the Celsius scale) ? (b) There were two fixed points in the original Celsius scale as mentioned above which were assigned the number 0^(@)C" and "100^(@)C respectively. On the absolute scale, one of the fixed points is the triple-point of water, which on the Kelvin absolute scale is assigned the number 273.16 K. What is the other fixed point on this (Kelvin) scale ? (c ) The absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) T is related to the temperature t_(c) on the Celsius scale by t_(c)=T-273.15 Why do we have 273.15 in this relation, and not 273.16 ? (d) What is the temperature of the triple-point of water on an absolute scale whose unit interval size is equal to that of the Fahrenheit scale ?
