  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 (symbol: K) is the base unit for temperature in the International System of Units (SI). The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale that starts at ...

  4. Compact fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

    The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of a black body that has the same chromaticity (i.e. color) as the light source. A notional temperature, the correlated color temperature, the temperature of a black body that emits light of a hue that to human color perception most closely matches the light from the lamp, is assigned.

  5. 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 .

  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 ...

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  8. Negative temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature

    A definition of temperature can be based on the relationship: = The relationship suggests that a positive temperature corresponds to the condition where entropy, S, increases as thermal energy, q rev, is added to the system. This is the "normal" condition in the macroscopic world, and is always the case for the translational, vibrational ...

  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 ...
