Absolute Temperature Access

The color and intensity of light emitted by a star (or a toaster filament) are determined by its absolute temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann Law).

): This describes how pressure, volume, and temperature interact. It only functions correctly if is expressed in Kelvins. absolute temperature

Absolute temperature is the scale of thermal measurement that starts at the lowest theoretical point possible: . The color and intensity of light emitted by

) is the point where that thermal motion reaches its quantum mechanical minimum. You can't get colder than absolute zero because you cannot have "less than zero" kinetic energy. 2. The Kelvin Scale absolute temperature
