Verified by Experts

The temperature and pressure at which the fusion curve, the vapourisation curve and the sublimation curve meet and all the three phases of a substance coexist, is called the triple point of the substance
e.g : Triple point of water is 273.16K under a pressure `6.11xx10^(-3)Nm^(-2)`
