Temperature scales — main types?
Kelvin and Celsius scales
Temperature scales — purpose?
Measure thermal energy in different systems.
Kelvin — zero point?
Absolute zero, 0 K, particles at minimum motion
Kelvin scale — zero point?
0 K at absolute zero, minimal particle motion.
Wien's Law — relation?
Peak wavelength inversely proportional to temperature
Celsius scale — zero point?
0°C at water's freezing point.
Kelvin-Celsius conversion?
T (K) = q (°C) + 273.15.
Absolute zero — temperature?
0 K; no thermal motion.
Solar radiation — includes?
Visible, UV, IR waves.
Incidence angle — effect?
Affects solar energy received.
