We know that,
• Normal atmospheric pressure = 1 atm
❖ Fahrenheit scale :
⟩ UFP = 212 °F
⟩ LFP = 32 °F
⟩ No. of divisions = 212 – 32 = 180
❖ Celsius scale :
⟩ UFP = 100 °C
⟩ LFP = 0 °C
⟩ No. of divisions = 100 – 0 = 100
❖ Kelvin scale :
⟩ UFP = 373 K
⟩ LFP = 273 K
⟩ No. of divisions = 373 – 273 = 100
