How do you get -300 centigrade temperature?
You cannot. Absolute zero (the temperature at which there is no thermal energy in an atomic lattice) is −273.15 degrees centigrade, or 0K (K = Kelvin). To reach this exact temperature is impossible, but by use of a "cryocooler" temperatures very near it can be reached.
What temperature does an object emit electromagnetic radiation?
At absolute zero (O K or -273.15 degrees Celsius), there is no energy radiated. The wavelength of light emitted is related by Wien's Law: (lambda) = 3x10^-3/T Where lambda is the wavelength of the radiation. T is the temperature in Kelvin. When T approaches 0 K, the wavelength of the emitted radiation approaches infinity (lower energy). At zero, there is no emitted energy.
What do some electrical conductors become when cooled to near absolute zero?
superconductors
How does thermal energy differ from temperature?
Thermal energy refers to the total change in energy of an object as temperature changes while temperature tells us only about the change in kinetic energy of the constituent atoms and molecules. The temperature of an object is a direct measure of the kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules that make up the object. The connection between the temperature and average translational kinetic energy of atoms and molecules in a material is given by an equation, KE(averaged)=3/2kT, where the kinetic energy is the usual one half mass times velocity squared of all the molecules or atoms in a material at the temperature T. T is measured as the temperature above absolute zero. The letter k stands for the Boltzmann constant. In addition to translational kinetic energy, there is also rotational kinetic energy and vibrational kinetic energy in molecules. Those too are simply proportional to temperature with a similar equation. Thermal energy is more than kinetic energy. It also includes potential energy. In a solid, there is also electronic energy to be considered. If the material is not a simple collection of atoms and molecules, thermal energy may also include energy associated with chemical changes. In summary, we normally use the term thermal energy to describe the energy acquired by an object when heated. Temperature, on the other hand, is simply related only to that part of the energy associated with the motion of the atoms and molecules, i.e. the kinetic energy as described above. Caveats: 1. This answer ignores quantum effects that alter the relationship to kinetic energy at extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero. It ignores extremely high temperature effects where normal matter may be transformed in the plasma state. What is said here is correct for normal materials encountered by people in everyday life. 2. One should properly be discussing so-called "free energy" such as Helmholtz free energy or Gibbs free energy, but that is more in the technical arena of thermodynamics.
When is thermal equilibrium achieved between two objects?
No, it would be nonsense. If that was true, a single drop of water could drop the oven's temperature from 100 to 0. Temperature isn't a measurement of energy. It's merely an average of kinetic energies of particles the body is made of.
When temperature are near absolute zero what process causes atoms to begin to clump?
Condensate is when temperatures are near absolute zero and the process causes atoms to begin to clump. When the temperatures gets colder and colder, the atoms aren't able to move.
When temperatures near absolute zero what process causes Atoms to begin to clump?
Condensate is when temperatures are near absolute zero and the process causes atoms to begin to clump. When the temperatures gets colder and colder, the atoms aren't able to move.
When the temperature is near to absolute zero what process causes atoms to begin to clump together?
This dearth of process is called missing energy of motion; or lack of Kinetic energy. In this case the term 'super, super, super Freezing' will apply.
When temperatures are near absolute zero what causes atoms to clump?
the answer is Who cares?
What is the approximate of absolute zero?
That means that the temperature gets close, or near, absolute zero (zero Kelvin, or minus 273.15 Celsius).
Bose-Einstein condensation occurs at what temperature?
2000 degrees C
Does the state of any gas changes at absolute zero?
Absolute zero is the temperature at which all atoms practically stop moving (technically the atoms may still move, but they don't have enough energy to transfer their own movement on to the next atom). Because a gas is made up of atoms which move, the gas will become a solid when it reaches absolute zero (becuase the atoms in solids don't move).
What is absolute zero said to be?
Absolute zero is the coldest temperature possible. What we think of as 'temperature' is really a measurement of how quickly the atoms in a particular substance are vibrating. If the atoms in a substance are vibrating quickly, this is because of the energy they possess, and therefore when we measure what we call the 'temperature' of the substace, it will be high. If the atoms are vibrating less quickly, then any temperature measurement will be lower. There comes a time, however, when the atoms stop vibrating altogether, and are still. This is what we call 'Absolute zero' and, because atoms cannot vibrate any slower than absolutely still, this is the lowest temperature attainable. The temperature is only theorical - by the laws of thermodynamics it can never be reached - because to remove the last bit of heat from a substance we will always need something colder. Therefore, although we can get very near absolute zero (at the moment scientists have reached a fraction of a thousandth of a degree above it) we can never actually get there. The accepted value for Absolute zero is - 273.15 degrees Celsius (Centigrade). To give some idea of how cold this is, a domestic freezer is -18 degrees, winter in the Antarctic seldom goes below -40 degrees, and nitrogen in the air becomes a liquid at -196 degrees. In physics, sometimes temperature is measured in Kelvins also. Absolute zero is 0 Kelvins (0K) and therefore the freezing point of water - zero degrees Celsius is 273.15K, and the boiling point of water (100 degrees Celsius) is 373.15K. using the Kelvin temperatue scale therefore removes the clumsy minus figures that the Celsius scale has to use when dealing with such low temperatures.
What is one atmosphere?
A pressure measurement, in comparison to atmospheric pressure on Earth, at sea level, near sea level, at standard temperature, usually expressing an absolute pressure (but does not have to be). 1 atmosphere absolute = 1.01325 bar absolute 1 atmosphere absolute = 101,325 pascal absolute 1 atmosphere absolute = 14.69595 psi absolute
Is there a temperature on Pluto?
Yes. Everything has a temperature, the question is, Is there a DOCUMENTED temperature on Pluto. It is estimated to be around -342 to -369 degrees F. (-208 to -223 degrees C.). That is very near the point of absolute zero.
Do animals decay or rot in space?
No. Since the temperature is near absolute zero and there is essentially no Oxygen any organic being would be frozen.
If helium isn't quite froze solid at Absolute Zero shouldn't Absolute Zero be lowered to reflect that?
Temperature is a measurement of the momentum of atoms and molecules. Absolute zero is 0 degrees Kelvin, when an atom or molecule has no momentum. You can't get lower than none. Also, we've never been able to produce anything at absolute zero, only near it. Helium doesn't form a solid because of it's lack of van der waals force, and at pressures of higher than 100 atmospheres it does form a solid.
