Scales of temperature |
We have to introduce temperature scale here to measure temperature quantitatively, because we cannot measure temperature by sense of touch or by comparing the degree of hotness of bodies. These scales depends upon the fixed points or reference points we can say, because they are easily reproduceable and fixed. Those points are 1: melting point of the ice. 2: boiling point of water Both are at standard pressure 76cm of Hg that is equal to 1 atm, both points are taken to be fixed points and difference between these two points is divided into different ways called scales of graduation ( Celsius and Fahrenheit) |
