Question

Answer the following :
There were two fixed points in the original Celsius scale as mentioned above which were assigned the number 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 assigned the number 273.16 K. What is the other fixed point on this (Kelvin) scale?

✓

Answer

On the Kelvin’s scale there is only a lower fixed point which is 273.16K, the upper fixed point is not there.
