Kelvin was the scientist who thought up the Kelvin scale of temperatures. 273.15 below zero on the Celsius scale is "absolute zero"; the lowest possible temperature where any activity due to heat is stopped. Theoretically it is not possible to reach absolute zero in anything because to reach it you would need something colder to absorb the heat, and there is nothing colder.

Specific heat of iron?
The correct term is 'specific heat capacity', not 'specific heat', and it is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin in SI. There are lots of sources of information on this topic on the internet, so why not do a search rather than have someone do one for you?
What ray do all objects give off?
A 'ray' is a term for a radiation. All objects with temperatures above 0 degrees Kelvin give off radiation called, "Heat".
In physics, zero on the Kelvin scale is also known by which term?
Rankine

zero
What does the term velocity refer to?
Velocity is a term that refers to the speed of an object.

What Does the k mean in melting point of elements?
"K" is short for "Kelvin" - a temperature scale in degrees the same size as Celsius, but whose "0" degrees point is not freezing, but absolute zero - no heat, at all. The Kelvin scale is handy for scientists because there are no "below zero" or negative degrees. This makes things a lot easier when making scientific calculations. The term was taken from "Lord Kelvin". His name was William Thompson, and he was a 19th century physicist. His english title was First Baron of (family) Kelvin, or simply, "Lord Kelvin".
