  2. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    The color temperature scale describes only the color of light emitted by a light source, which may actually be at a different (and often much lower) temperature. [1] [2] Color temperature has applications in lighting, [3] photography, [4] videography, [5] publishing, [6] manufacturing, [7] astrophysics, [8] and other fields.

  3. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    The kelvin now only depends on the Boltzmann constant and universal constants (see 2019 SI unit dependencies diagram), allowing the kelvin to be expressed exactly as: [2] 1 kelvin = ⁠ 1.380 649 × 10 −23 / (6.626 070 15 × 10 −34)(9 192 631 770) ⁠ ⁠ h Δν Cs / k B ⁠ = ⁠ 13.806 49 / 6.091 102 297 113 866 55 ⁠ ⁠ h Δν Cs / k B

  4. Kelvin equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_equation

    The Kelvin equation describes the change in vapour pressure due to a curved liquid–vapor interface, such as the surface of a droplet. The vapor pressure at a convex curved surface is higher than that at a flat surface. The Kelvin equation is dependent upon thermodynamic principles and does not allude to special properties of materials.

  5. Degree (temperature) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(temperature)

    Unlike the degree Fahrenheit and degree Celsius, the kelvin is no longer referred to or written as a degree (but was before 1967 [1] [2] [3]). The kelvin is the primary unit of temperature measurement in the physical sciences, but is often used in conjunction with the degree Celsius, which has the same magnitude. Other scales of temperature:

  6. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    Apart from absolute zero, it does not have a reference temperature. It is known as the Kelvin scale, widely used in science and technology. The kelvin (the unit name is spelled with a lower-case 'k') is the unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). The temperature of a body in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium is always ...

  7. Full-spectrum light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-spectrum_light

    Color temperature and Color Rendering Index (CRI) are the standards for measuring light. There is no technical definition of "full-spectrum" so it cannot be measured. To compare "full-spectrum" sources requires direct comparison of spectral distribution. Color emitted by a black body on a linear scale from 800 kelvins to 12200 kelvins

  8. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

    An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light with a filament that is heated until it glows. The filament is enclosed in a glass bulb that is either evacuated or filled with inert gas to protect the filament from oxidation .

  9. Thermodynamic temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_temperature

    Thermodynamic temperature is a quantity defined in thermodynamics as distinct from kinetic theory or statistical mechanics.. Historically, thermodynamic temperature was defined by Lord Kelvin in terms of a macroscopic relation between thermodynamic work and heat transfer as defined in thermodynamics, but the kelvin was redefined by international agreement in 2019 in terms of phenomena that are ...
