A perfect (completely empty) vacuum would have no temperature, since temperature implies movement of particles. However, any real vacuum has some particles (the density is simply less than normal air pressure, for instance); the temperature in this case can vary, just as the temperature of air, or the temperature of water, can vary.

Can you assign temperature to a vacuum?

Answer Yes, you can. I think the answer is no. A physical object in a vacuum can have some energy/heat in it, and the energy associated with electromagnetic radiation can have energy/heat associated with it, but the vacuum itself cannot. ______________________________________________________________________ There is no such thing as a vacuum.


How does a mechanical wave transmit energy through a vacuum?

A mechanical wave cannot transmit energy through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the wave to travel through, so it cannot transfer energy.


What is the Temperature of thermometer when kept in vacuum?

A thermometer will completely drop when in a vacuum as there is nothing in a vacuum, so there will be no energy. A thermometer measures heat energy around it. You may find it'll measure the heat energy that it has itself. In a vacuum, a thermometer cannot measure temperature via convection heating. Hot air or hot gas can't heat up the bulb or bimetal strip or whatever it is that responds to the heat to make the device work. It will measure some heat because infrared (and other electromagnetic) radiation can warm the device. Depending on the circumstances, it will give some kind of reading, but as to what that reading is, we cannot know without knowing what is in or around the vacuum. Even in deep space there is cosmic background radiation everywhere and the temperature is about 3 K, or −270 °C (−454.00 °F).


What is the temperature inside of a vacuum?

In a vacuum temperature is inapplicable. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules that fill a defined space. In a vacuum there are no molecules so --- no temperature.


Does the temperarure changes in vacuum when sun light passes through it?

Temperature is the vibration of particles.In a true vacuum there are no particles.Therefore, a true vacuum cannot have a temperature other than 0K (approx-273C) i.e. absolute zero


Can all forms of energy travel in a vacuum?

No, all forms of energy cannot travel in a vacuum. We know that electromagnetic energy (like light or radio waves) can travel in a vacuum. So can gravity waves. But mechanical energy (like sound) cannot.


Does water in a vacuum change temperature?

In a vacuum, water does not change temperature since temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of molecules, which in turn depends on molecular collisions that require a medium. Without air or molecules to transfer heat, water cannot gain or lose temperature in a vacuum.


What is the temperature in a vacuum?

In an absolutely perfect vacuum, there is no defined temperature at all. The temperature simply doesn't mean anything. Of course, there isn't really anything that is a perfect vacuum.At very high vacuum, at equilibrium, the temperature will be determined by whatever the container holding the vacuum is in thermal contact with. Something inside an imperfect vacuum isn't at any particular temperature -- if it is at equilibrium, it will be at whatever temperature the things around it are at. However, the rate at which is reaches equilibrium with may be very slow because of the vacuum. If it not at equilibrium, then the object in the vacuum will be at whatever temperature it was set at until it reaches equilibrium with the things around it.


Does vacuum contain energy?

yes there is energy because, 1.every body in vacuum always try to flote each other it means that there is some energy wich try to flote the body up and down. 2.humanbeing cannot live in vacuum because there is no oxygen in vacuum it means that there is some energy which makes the man to kill. 3.plants cannot survive in vacuum because there is no carbon dioxide it means that there is some energy which is not making to survive the plants. 4.in vaccum we cannot fire a light because there is no oxygen it means that there is some energy which is stoping the fire.


In a vacuum there is no matter. do you think conduction can take place in vacuum?

Conduction cannot occur within a vacuum because it requires a substrate (i.e. matter) for energy to be transferred.


Is heat energy can be stored in vacuum?

No, heat energy cannot be stored in a vacuum because vacuum is an absence of matter that could hold or transfer heat. Heat needs matter to transfer through conduction, convection, or radiation. In a vacuum, there is no medium for heat transfer to occur.


What can't energy be transferred through?

Energy cannot be transferred through a vacuum, as it requires a medium such as matter or particles to travel from one point to another. While electromagnetic radiation (such as light) can travel through a vacuum, it is the radiation itself transferring energy, not the vacuum.
