How to Measure Humidity
Humidity is typically measured using both a wet bulb and a dry bulb thermometer. The evaporation from the wet bulb causes its temperature to be lower than the dry one, and the temperature difference is used to calculate relative humidity.
Explanation:
Humidity is usually measured using wet bulb and dry bulb thermometers, so the correct answer is D. A pair of thermometers is used, one is kept dry (dry bulb) and the other has its bulb wrapped in a wet cloth (wet bulb). The evaporation from the wet bulb causes its temperature to drop and the difference in temperature between the two thermometers is used to calculate the relative humidity.
How would you measure humidity? A. Wet bulb and atmospheric pressure. B. Dry bulb and latent heat of vapour. C. Moisture bulb and wet bulb. D. Wet bulb and dry bulb. Final answer: Humidity is typically measured using both a wet bulb and a dry bulb thermometer.
