MCQ
On the Celsius scale the absolute zero of temperature is at
  • A
    $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • B
    $-32^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • C
    $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • $-273.15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$-273.15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
$ T=273.15+t^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \Rightarrow 0=273.15+t^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $
$ \Rightarrow t=-273.15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
