The scale used to measure the temperature of light?

Question

What is the the scale used to measure the temperature of light? I think it is Kelvin but am not possitive.

Answer 1

Electron volts or EV.

Answer 2

There is technically no temperature of "light", there is the temperature that radiation causes.  This is seen here on Earth as the light strikes the surface.  This you feel in warmth.  Remember, radiation, or light, can only heat in a couple of different ways.  

1) conduction

2) convection

3) radiation

Most scientists use the K (Kelvin) scale to measure temperature, leaving 0 as absolute zero.  We convert these temperatures into farenheight fo the US.  The rest of the world uses Centigrade.  So in reality, if you are outside of the scientific community, you can use either F or C.  Kelvin is used within the scientific community to measure heat, or in this case the temperature that is radiated in the form of light.

Hope this asnwers your question.

Answer 3

i think  C

Answer 4

From wikipedia:

"The color temperature of a light source is determined by comparing its chromaticity with that of an ideal black-body radiator. The temperature (usually measured in kelvin (K)) at which the heated black-body radiator matches the color of the light source is that source's color temperature"
