2. The temperature of milk in a glass is 60° C. Express this temperature in the Fahrenheit and
Kelvin scales.
3. What should be the time period of a wave with a frequency of 300 Hz?
4. Find the frequency of a wave whose time period is 0.2 second.
5. Aditi claps and hears the echo after reflection from a cliff which is 990 m away. If the velocity
of sound is 330 m/s, calculate the time taken for hearing the echo.
Answers
Answer:
Given,
Temperature at which Wax Melts is 335
For any temperature scale,
\boxed{ \dfrac{ x - LFP }{UFP - LFP} = \sf \: constant}
UFP−LFP
x−LFP
=constant
For Kelvin scale,
\frac{k - 273}{373 - 273} = \frac{k - 273}{100} = \sf \: constant
373−273
k−273
=
100
k−273
=constant
For Celsius scale,
\frac{c - 0}{100} = \frac{c}{100} = \sf \: constant \:

c
=constant
For Fahrenheit scale,
\frac{f - 32}{212 - 32} = \sf \: constant
212−32
f−32
=constant
Here, k, c, f are temperatures on respective scales.
According to given question,
k =335
Conversion to Celsius scale
\begin{gathered} \frac{k - 273}{100} = \frac{c}{100} \\ \\ k - 273 = c \\ \\ 335 - 273 = c \\ \\ c = 62\end{gathered}

k−273
=
100
c
k−273=c
335−273=c
c=62
Conversion to Fahrenheit scale
\begin{gathered} \frac{k - 273}{100} = \frac{f - 32}{180} \\ \\ \frac{k - 273}{5} = \frac{f - 32}{9} \\ \\ \frac{335 - 273}{5} = \frac{f - 32}{9} \\ \\ \frac{62}{5} = \frac{f - 32}{9} \\ \\ f - 32 = \frac{62 \times 9}{5} \\ \\ f - 32 = 111.6 \\ \\ f = 111.6 + 32 \\ \\ f = 143. 6\end{gathered}

f−32=111.6
f=111.6+32
f=143.6
Therefore,
Temperature on Kelvin = 335 K
Temperature on Celsius = 62°C
Temperature on Fahrenheit = 143.6°F.
