The instrument used for measuring humidity of air is called
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Hygrometer
Hygrometer is used for measuring humidity of air. When water or ice covers the bulb of a thermometer (wet-bulb), latent heat is removed from the surface of the bulb as the water evaporates, and the wet-bulb temperature becomes lower than the air (dry-bulb) temperature. At a lower humidity, water evaporates more actively, so that the wet-bulb temperature lowerssharply. The aspirated psychrometer measures humidity by measuring the difference between the dry-bulb temperature and wet-bulb temperature.
