The temperatures of two bodies differ by 1°C. How much will they differ on Fahrenheit scale?
Show Hint
To convert a temperature difference from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8.
Updated On: Mar 25, 2025
- 1°F
- 1.2°F
- 2.4°F
- 1.8°F
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit is given by:
\[
F = \frac{9}{5} C + 32
\]
For a change of 1°C, the change in Fahrenheit is:
\[
\Delta F = \frac{9}{5} \Delta C
\]
Substituting \( \Delta C = 1 \):
\[
\Delta F = \frac{9}{5} \times 1 = 1.8°F
\]
Thus, the temperature difference in Fahrenheit is 1.8°F.
