M-Infrared thermometer-a device that infers temperature using thermal radiation emitted by the substance being measured; also called pyrometer, p. 50. N-Kelvin-scale of measurement that is sometimes called an absolute scale because 0 Kelvin (K) is the point at which no heat o-exists; freezing point of water is 273 K and boiling point of water is 373 K, p. 47. P-Pyrometer-see infrared thermometer, p. 50. Q-Radiation-the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, p. 44.
