The temperature of the filament in a light bulb is about `1800^(@)C`, what will it be on Fahrenheit scale?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To convert the temperature of the filament in a light bulb from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the following formula: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \] Where: - \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit, - \( C \) is the temperature in Celsius. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given temperature in Celsius**: - The temperature of the filament is given as \( C = 1800^\circ C \). 2. **Substitute the value of \( C \) into the formula**: \[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 1800 + 32 \] 3. **Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 1800 \)**: - First, calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \): \[ \frac{9}{5} = 1.8 \] - Now multiply by 1800: \[ 1.8 \times 1800 = 3240 \] 4. **Add 32 to the result**: \[ F = 3240 + 32 = 3272 \] 5. **Final result**: - The temperature of the filament in Fahrenheit is: \[ F = 3272^\circ F \] ### Conclusion: The temperature of the filament in a light bulb, which is \( 1800^\circ C \), is equivalent to \( 3272^\circ F \). ---
