Question
In air, amount of water vapor is classified as ______________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D humidity
Evaporative cooling is restricted by atmospheric conditions.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. The vapor content of air is
measured with devices known as hygrometers. The measurements are usually
expressed as specific humidity or percent relative humidity. The temperatures
of the atmosphere and the water surface determine the equilibrium vapor
pressure; 100% relative humidity occurs when the partial pressure of water
vapor is equal to the equilibrium vapor pressure. This condition is often
referred to as complete saturation.
