Temperature Scales

• Temperature can be subjective and so fixed scales had to be introduced.

• The boiling point and freezing point of water are two such points.• Celsius scale (oC)

– The Celsius scale divides the range from freezing to boiling into 100 divisions.

– Original scale had freezing as 100 and boiling as 0.

– Today freezing is 0 oC and boiling is 100 oC.

• Fahrenheit scale (oF)• Mercury and alcohol thermometers rely on thermal expansion

Thermal Expansion

• Most objects e-x-p-a-n-d when heated• Large structures such as bridges must be

built to leave room for thermal expansion• All features expand together
