Question

The temperature of the filament in a lightbulb is about 1900∘C∘C. What is this on the Fahrenheit scale? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer 1

Using two significant figures the temperature is
`3.4*10^(3)` Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Fahrenheit and Celsius are different scales of temperature. The conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is:

`Fahrenheit\,degree=Celsius\,degree*(9)/(5) + 32`

So, for 1900 Celsius degree

`Fahrenheit\,degree=(1900)*(9)/(5) + 32`

`Fahrenheit\,degree=3452 F`
