what is the difference between 2700 Kelvin and 6400 Kelvin in light bulbs?
Q. I am trying to decide whether to buy a 50W 2700 Kelvin bulb, or a 35W 6400 Kelvin daylight bulb. I want to know which will be brighter.
Asked by anushka108 - Tue Oct 7 05:35:01 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I would guess that they would both APPEAR to be about the same brightness, even though the 50 watt should be almost twice as bright! The reason is that 2700 K is a 'warm' yellowish light, whereas 6400 K is a very blue/white light, which the eye will percieve as 'brighter'. It all depends on what you are using the light for?? You need the actual lumen figures from the makers of the lamps to be exact.

A. at 0 degrees Kelvin or absolute zero, all motion stops so the average kinetic energy is 0.

How to calaculate the wavelength of a neutron at 500 kelvin?
Q. I am guessing you need to use de Broglie's, but how do you go from 500 kelvin to energy or velocity??
Asked by me09 - Sat Oct 10 09:02:14 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. you are correct that you need to use deBroglie's equation for wavelength, but that equation involves the speed of the neutron, so: lambda = h /m v where lambda is the wavelength of the neutron, h is planck's cst, m is the mass of the neutron and v is its velocity you find the velocity from kinetic theory: 1/2 mv^2 = 3/2 kT where k is the Boltzmann's cst and T is the temp so combine these two and you can calculate the wavelength

Can I step up a very low voltage to a very high one using superconductors at 3 degrees Kelvin?
Q. Could I use a series of transformers to step up an extremely low voltage - like a 9V battery - to a very high one (like that of a power station) by using superconductor matrial for the wires and cooling it to about 4 degrees Kelvin in order to overcome any resistance? I imagine it would be expensive, but would such a device have any benefit for power generation? Could it be done or would the low temperature slow the flow of electrons?

Asked by momoxnyu - Thu Apr 16 12:14:13 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. first.. STP probably means 273.15K = 0 C and 1 atm of pressure second.. to convert between kelvin and C... K = C + 273.15 *** fyi.. in case you're interested.. there are about 20 different versions of STP and they are all slightly different. NIST has one, IUPAC has another, etc the old IUPAC is 273.15 K and 1 atm the current one is 273.15 K and 100 kPa usually, the "old" IUPAC is taught in classrooms today.

A. who "always uses kelvin"? open up a weather channel (non US channel) and you'd get the degrees in celsius. kelvin has a zero at "absolute zero" (nothing can be colder then that), but it's rarely used for common day temp'. each scale was designed by a different "guy" who decided to use that scale, for the work he did.

How do you explain the equivalence of the Kelvin-Plank and the Clausius statements of the 2nd law of thermo...
Q. Kelvin-Plank: It is impossible to construct an engine which, operating in a cycle, will produce no other effect than the extraction of heat from a reservoir and the performance of an equivalent amount of work. Clausius: It is impossible to construct a refrigerator which, operating in a cycle, will produce no other effect than the transfer of heat from a cooler body to a hotter one. I know they are equivalent (obviously), but I can't remember the proof.
Asked by Om - Mon May 12 10:06:48 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you had a Kelvin-Plank heat engine, you could use it to run your ordinary refrigerator, and in the net, you'd have a Clausius refrigerator. Similarly, if you had a Clausius refrigerator, you could use it to offset the heat transfer of an ordinary heat engine, and you'd have a Kelvin-Plank heat engine.

Can an object have a temperature of 0 Kelvin?
Q. Kelvin is measure of how much energy is in an object. For an object to be 0 Kelvin, you would have to place another object that is less than 0 Kelvin next to it to take away the energy. Less than 0 Kelvin means that an object has a negative amount of energy which really isn't possible. I learned this in my Earth Science class when my teacher said that objects of 0 Kelvin will be out far in space. Is that true? Please answer this question as detailed as possible.

A. Zero Kelvin (aka Absolute Zero) is a theoretical temperature which has been approached VERY closely in laboratory conditions, but should not actually be literally possible to achieve. By definition ANY temperature, including something like 0.0001 Kelvin is technically infinitely more than true absolute zero. Absolute zero is a limit, not an achievable value.

A. 0 Kelvin is by definition "absolute zero". If you should ever find a temperature less than 0 Kelvin, then the scale has to be reset to have that temperature BE 0 kelvin.

Asked by Nelfheim - Fri Feb 20 23:07:30 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I doubt this is the answer you are looking for, but physically a substance is made of matter, and matter by definition has to take up space no matter how minute that that space maybe. Therefore nothing can occupy a space consisting of measurements of 0 units. Also despite what the second answer said, it would not be a gas, liquid or solid as it nears 0 kelvin, it would be entering one of the other states of matters in this case Bose-Einstein Condensate (the 7 states of matter in increasing energy level: Bose-Einstein Condensate, Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, Super heated Plasma, Ray, and finally Wave).

A. F means Fareinheit, C means Celsius, and K means Kelvin. Here are all the conversions between them: F to C: C = (5/9) * (F - 32) C to F: F = (9/5) * C + 32 C to K: K = C + 293.15 K to C: C = K - 293.15 F to K: K = (5/9) * (F - 32) + 293.15 K to F: F = (9/5) * (K - 293.15) + 32 Notably, you can easily just type these values in google (like 5F in K) and get it converted for you.

How much electricity is produced in general by a Kelvin Water Dropper?
Q. I personally did this experiment and found that the results were varied and the multimeter that i used to measure it produced numbers in the thousandths.
Asked by ghost_calibur - Mon Feb 18 22:34:10 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. What do you mean how much "electricity"? How much charge? What voltage difference? How much energy? I'm not surprised that the results varied. You are dealing with an electrostatic system and you are measuring it with a multi-meter that probably wasn't designed with electrostatics (generally, very low currents) in mind. Also, the Kelvin water dropper is a positive feed back loop that magnifies any initial differences. (In fact, you can't even predict which side ends up positive and which negative.) This site suggests that a simple implementation can generate "several thousand" volts: The details of construction (materials used, height the water falls, etc.) clearly affect the results.
