There were two fixed points in the original Celsius scale as mentioned above which were assigned the mimber `0^(@) C " and " 100^(@) C` respectively. On the absolute scale, one of the fixed points is the triple-point of water, which on the Kelvin absolute scale is ass ned the number `273.16 `K What is the other ftsed point on this (Kelvin) scale ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The other fixed point is the absolute zero itself.
