What is the temperature for which the reading on Kelvin and Fahrenheit scales are same ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On the Kelvin and Fahrenheit scales
`(K - 273.15)/(100) = (F - 32)/(180)`
K = F `rArr (F - 273.15)/(100) = (F - 32)/(180)`
`rArr F - 273.15 = (5)/(9) F - (160)/(9)`
`(4)/(9) F = 273.15 - 17.77 " " F = (9)/(4)`
(255.38) = 574.6 `" " therefore 574.6K = 574.6^(@)` F.
