TEMPERATURE
C = 59 (F 32)
To convert degrees Fahrenheit (F) to degrees Celsius (C):
Subtract 32 degrees from F, then divide by 1.8.
To convert degrees Celsius (C) to degrees Fahrenheit (F):
Multiply C by 1.8, then add 32 degrees.
To convert degrees Celsius (C) to Kelvins (K): Add 273 to
Celsius temperature, as
K = C + 273.

UNITS/CONSTANTS
p = RT
where p is air pressure, is air density, R is a
constant, and T is air temperature.
Stefan-Boltzmann Law
The Stefan-Boltzmann law is a law of radiation. It states that all objects with temperatures
above absolute zero emit radiation at a rate
proportional to the fourth power of their absolute temperature. It is expressed mathematically as:
E = T4
where E is the maximum rate of radiation
emitted each second per unit surface area, T
is the objects surface temperature, and is a
constant.
458
UNITS/CONSTANTS
Wiens Law
Wiens law (or Wiens displacement law) relates an objects maximum emitted wavelength of radiation to the
objects temperature. It states that the wavelength of
maximum emitted radiation by an object is inversely
proportional to the objects absolute temperature. In
symbolic form, it is written as:
max =
UNITS/CONSTANTS
w
T
where max is the wavelength at which maximum radiation emission occurs, T is the objects temperature, and
w is a constant.

Hydrostatic Equation
The hydrostatic equation relates to how quickly the air
pressure decreases in a column of air above the surface.
The equation tells us that the rate at which the air pressure decreases with height is equal to the air density
times the acceleration of gravity. In symbolic form, it is
written as:

where p is the decrease in pressure along a small
change in height z, is the air density, and g is the
force of gravity.
