There are two thermometers in a room. One reads the temperature as 25 degree and the other as 77 degree. Why is this difference?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The two thermometers must be measuring the temperatures on two different scales.
As `25^(@)C=77^(@)F`, the reading of 25 degree should be in a Celsius thermometer and 77 degree in a Fahrenheit thermometer.

The fundamental interval of one thermometer is divided into 45 equal divisons while that on another thermometer into 100 equal divisions. The lower fixed point of the first thermometers is -2 degree and that of the other is 20 degree.

One thermometer is graduated in the Celsius scale and another in the Fahrenheit scale. Both of them are used alternately to measure the temperatures of two objects.
