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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There is only one definite point on Kelvin scale. It is triple of water. There is no other definite point.
