A tungsten light bulb filament may operate at 2900 K. What is its Fahrenheit temperature? What is this on the Celsius scale?
Short Answer
We get the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit is and in Celcius is 2600℃.

Why does rubbing alcohol evaporate much more rapidly than water at STP (standard temperature and pressure)?
Question: Frost damage to most plants occurs at temperatures of 28.0ºF or lower. What is this temperature on the Kelvin scale?
Give an example of a physical property that varies with temperature and describe how it is used to measure temperature?
Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water \(1.00{\rm{ km}}\) high for a temperature increase of \(1.00^\circ {\rm{C}}\) . Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.
Question: If you add boiling water to a cup at room temperature, what would you expect the final equilibrium temperature of the unit to be? You will need to include the surroundings as part of the system. Consider the zeroth law of thermodynamics.
