Which is the correct relation between the Kelvin temperature

Which one of the following is the correct relation between the Kelvin temperature (T) and the Celsius temperature (tc)?

  1. These are two independent temperature scales
  2. T = tc
  3. T = tc - 273.15
  4. T = tc + 273.15

Answer

Generally, there are three type of temperature units - Kelvin (K), Celsius (C) and Fahrenheit (F).

K = C + 273

F = 9/5(C) + 32

The general formula is:

C/5 = (F-32)/9 = (K+273)/5

The correct option is D.
