Question: Write the value of zero on the Kelvin scale....
Write the value of zero on the Kelvin scale.
Solution
The Kelvin scale is different from the Fahrenheit and the celsius scale; it has a different starting point and different range differences but its temperature can be converted into Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Complete answer:
Zero is defined as 0K on the Kelvin scale whereas on a Celsius scale it is marked as 273.15∘C. Kelvin scale is known as an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. Kelvin scales use absolute zero as its null point. The relation formed between kelvin and celsius scales is: TK=t∘C+273.15.
William Thompson also known as lord Kelvin was the one who wrote a paper about the absolute thermometer scale commonly known as the Kelvin scale. Unlike the other scale of Fahrenheit and celsius the Kelvin scale is not used with a degree sign. It is used as a primary unit of temperature in the physical sciences but sometimes it is often used as degree Celsius.The Kelvin scale ranges from 0K to 373K whereas a celsius scale ranges from about −273∘C to 100∘C.
Note: Kelvin scale is also used in determining the colour temperature in which lighting is used. Kelvin temperature reflects the colour temperature related to an object physical temperature which can be blue, red or white. Decrease at the Kelvin scale starts from 0 degree so nothing can go below the temperature in reference to kelvin scale. The Kelvin scale unit was introduced in 1990 on the international temperature scale and it was introduced in 1989 by the CIPM.
