  2. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    In Big Bang cosmology, the Planck epoch or Planck era is the earliest stage of the Big Bang, before the time passed was equal to the Planck time, t P, or approximately 10 −43 seconds. [30] There is no currently available physical theory to describe such short times, and it is not clear in what sense the concept of time is meaningful for ...

  3. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    The kelvin is often used as a measure of the colour temperature of light sources. Colour temperature is based upon the principle that a black body radiator emits light with a frequency distribution characteristic of its temperature. Black bodies at temperatures below about 4000 K appear reddish, whereas those above about 7500 K appear

  4. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    The color temperature (as well as the correlated color temperature defined above) may differ largely from the effective temperature given by the radiative flux of the stellar surface. For example, the color temperature of an A0V star is about 15000 K compared to an effective temperature of about 9500 K. [27]

    and the reference temperature T 1 * = 273.16 K × f(T 1,T 1) = 273.16 K. (Any reference temperature and any positive numerical value could be used – the choice here corresponds to the Kelvin scale.)

  7. 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 ...

  8. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    In physics, Planck's law (also Planck radiation law [1]: 1305 ) describes the spectral density of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature T, when there is no net flow of matter or energy between the body and its environment.

  9. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    Since the standardization of the kelvin in the International System of Units, it has subsequently been redefined in terms of the equivalent fixing points on the Kelvin scale, so that a temperature increment of one degree Celsius is the same as an increment of one kelvin, though numerically the scales differ by an exact offset of 273.15.
