4: Temperature and
the Celsius scale
Temperature:
It is how hot or cold something is.

How temperature can be measured??

Using a thermometer.

Thermometer tells us about the average kinetic

energy of the particles in the object whose we
are measuring its temperature.
So, Temperature doesn’t depend on the size of
the object.
Difference between temperature and
Internal energy:

Temperature: It is a
Internal energy: It is measure of the
the total energy of all average kinetic energy
particles. of the individual
particles.
If the bath and the cup of tea The firework has a temperature
has the same temperature,
which will have more internal may reach to 1500°C, so it has the
energy?? fastest particles
The bath, since it has many
more particles.
Converting from Celsius temperature into
Kelvin:

T (K) = θ(°C) +273
