Explain why: An optical pyrometer (for measuring high temperature) calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too low value for the temperature of a red hot iron piece in the open, but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same piece is in the furnace.

In countries like USA and Canada, temperature is measured in Fahrenheit, whereas in countries like India, it is measured in Celsius. Here is a linear equation that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius: F=(9/5)C+32 If the temperature is 95^@F , what is the temperature in Celsius?

In countries like USA and Canada, temperature is measured in Fahrenheit, whereas in countries like India, it is measured in Celsius. Here is a linear equation that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius: F=(9/5)C+32 Is there a temperature which is numerically the same in both Fahrenheit and Celsius? If yes, find it.
