Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) is a unit of temperature in the Imperial measurement system. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F, and the boiling point is 212°F under standard atmospheric conditions.
The Fahrenheit scale was developed by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. He based his scale on three fixed points: the temperature of a mixture of ice and salt (0°F), the freezing point of water (32°F), and the average human body temperature (96°F, later adjusted to 98.6°F).
Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States and a few other countries that follow the Imperial system. It is commonly used for weather forecasts, household ovens, and other temperature measurements in daily life.
Kelvin (symbol: K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale, starting from absolute zero, the point at which molecular motion stops.
The Kelvin scale was developed by Scottish engineer and physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, in the mid-19th century. It was designed to provide an absolute reference point for temperature measurements, starting from absolute zero.
Kelvin is primarily used in scientific contexts, particularly in physics and chemistry, where precise temperature measurements are required. It is also used in fields such as astronomy and engineering.
To convert from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:
Fahrenheit to Kelvin: ( \text{K} = (\text{°F} - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} + 273.15 )
Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin:
Use the formula: ( \text{K} = (\text{°F} - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} + 273.15 )
Calculation: ( (77 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} + 273.15 = 298.15 ) K
Example 1: If the temperature is 59°F, convert it to Kelvin using the formula (59 - 32) (\times) (\frac{5}{9}) + 273.15 = 288.15 K.
Example 2: For a temperature of 95°F, convert to Kelvin using the formula (95 - 32) (\times) (\frac{5}{9}) + 273.15 = 308.15 K.
To convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin, use the formula K = (F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15. For example, 68°F converts to 293.15 K.
