What is the Kelvin Scale ;
The Kelvin scale (K) is a temperature scale in which the freezing point of water is 0 K and the boiling point of water is 373.15 K. The scale is named after the physicist Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), who proposed it in 1848. Temperatures on the Kelvin scale are usually given in degrees Kelvin (K), which is the unit of measure on the Kelvin scale.
What is Kelvin Based On?
Kelvin is a temperature scale that is based on the absolute zero temperature. This is the lowest possible temperature that can be achieved and is equivalent to -273 degrees Celsius.
What is Kelvin Used For?
Kelvin is a temperature scale that is based on the absolute zero temperature. It is used to measure the temperature of objects and to calculate the heat energy that is needed to change the temperature of an object.
What is the Boiling Point of Water in Kelvin?
The boiling point of water is 373.15 Kelvin.
What is the Freezing Point of Water in Kelvin?
The freezing point of water in Kelvin is 273.15.
What is 1 Kelvin?
1 Kelvin is the temperature of a perfect black body in thermal equilibrium.
What is the Celsius Scale?
The Celsius scale is a temperature scale where 0 degrees is the freezing point of water and 100 degrees is the boiling point of water.
Development of the Celsius Scale
The Celsius scale, also known as the centigrade scale, is a temperature scale that is used to measure the temperature of objects. The Celsius scale is named after the Swedish scientist Anders Celsius, who developed it in 1742. The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water and the boiling point of water. On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0 degrees and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees.
Conversion of Celsius to Kelvin
To convert Celsius to Kelvin, subtract 273.15 from the Celsius temperature.
