Definitions for: kelvin

• the basic unit of thermodynamic temperature adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites
• British physicist who invented the Kelvin scale of temperature and pioneered undersea telegraphy (1824-1907)
• The kelvin (symbol: K) is a unit increment of temperature and is one of the seven SI base units. The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale referenced to absolute zero, the absence of all thermal energy. ...
• Kelvin as a given name may refer to: * Kelvin Anderson, retired American gridiron football player * Kelvin Batey, English competitive BMX racer * Kelvin Blake, English politician * Kelvin Bryant, American football player * Kelvin Burt, British auto racing driver * Kelvin Carpenter, fictional ...
• The Kelvin is Glasgow's second most important river, both socially and industrially, after the River Clyde. It rises on the moor south east of the village of Banton, east of Kilsyth - . ...
• alternative capitalization of kelvin; A river in Scotland, running through Glasgow; A surname; A male given name transferred from the surname; rather rare
• Thermometer scale on which a unit of measurement equals the Celsius degree.
• The unit which measures the temperature of colour
• A temperature reading used to rate the color of lite bulbs. 5500 degrees K is equal to sunlight.
• The unit of temperature on the Kelvin Temperature Scale. 1K \x3d 1°C.
• Scale used to measure the color of light
• The Kelvin is a unit of temperature measurement starting from absolute zero at -273 Celsius. Degrees Kelvin (or color temperature) is used in color photography to indicate the color balance or spectrum of light emitted from a light source. ...
• Lord Kelvin, William Thomson (1824 - 1907) designed the Kelvin temperature scale in which 0 K is defined as absolute zero and the size of one unit is the same as the size of one degree Celsius. Water freezes at 273.16 K; water boils at 373.16 K.
• A temperature scale similar to the Centigrade scale, but which starts at abolute zero (-273.15^oC).  It was developed by and named after Lord Kelvin and is used throughout physics and astronomy.  A change of 1 K is the same as a change of 1^oC, so 0^oC \x3d 273 K and 100^oC \x3d 373 K. ...
• Zero K is absolute zero; ice melts at 273 K (0° C, 32° F); water boils at 373 K ( 100° C, 212° F).
• A temperature scale which is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI). Symbol is K.
• Scale of temperature named after the English physicist Lord Kelvin, based on the average kinetic energy per molecule of a perfect gas. Absolute zero is equivalent to -273.16oC (-459.4oF).
• A temperature scale in which 0°K is the point at which all molecular motion ceases, called absolute zero (approx. -473°F).
• The Kelvin scale measures the hue of light. "Hue" in this technical meaning refers not just to color generally, but to the relative warmth of a specific light source - its spectrum frequency, or color temperature. ...
• The visible light spectrum is scientifically described in terms of color temperature, and is measured in degrees Kelvin (K).  This is also another way to control white balance.
• The temperature measurement scale used in the scientific community. Zero K represents absolute zero, and corresponds to minus 459 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 273 Celsius. Is also the amount of thermal noise generated by an LNB. ...
• An advanced unit of temperature used by scientists. (See CCT).
• In the metric system, a graduated scale used to measure temperature with 0° (-273°C) being the total absence of heat (absolute zero). Each degree is the same magnitude as a degree in the centigrade scale.
• Absolute temperature scale based on the Celsius scale, but with zero K defined at absolute zero. 0°C corresponds to 273.15°K.
• A unit used to measure temperature.  One Kelvin is equal in size to one degree Celsius.  To convert between degrees Celsius and Kelvins, simply add 273.15 to the temperature in degrees Celsius to get Kelvins.
