Wet bulb thermometer is a regular thermometer but the base that is the part where the Mercury get stored is kept in some wet condition depend on the humidity level you want to check and then we are checking the environmental temperature. It mainly used for scientific purposes and not for regular use.
Dry bulb is our regular thermometer where the mercury storage point is kept dry.

∙ 13y agoThey calculate the temperature of the air and also help calculate the humidity of the air. Using you Earth Science Reference Table you can take the difference of the wet and dry temperatures and then calculate the humidity. Every humidity is 70% to 100% Anything lower indicates that it will hail or a tornado will occur in the location. The formula for calculating humidity is wet over dry divided by 55 and multiplied by your dew point.

∙ 15y agofor hygrometer you would have to use both dry and wet light bulbs. the wet one is to measure the wet bulb temperature.

What main parts are to make a psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
What is the wet-bulb depression if the dry bulb is 20 and the wet bulb is 17?
15
Is the wet bulb thermometer reading always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
Why did the wet-bulb temperature record a lower temperature then a dry-bulb temperature?
the evaporation off the moisture on the wet bulb absorbs the heat.
How do you use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer?
as the air passes over the wet bulb thermometer the water in the cloth evaporates. as the water evaporates the cloth cools. if the humidity is low the water will evaporate more quickly and the temperature reading on the wet bulb thermometer will drop. if the humidity is high only a little bit of water will evaporate from the cloth of the wet bulb thermometer and the change in temperature will be small.

What does a wet bulb and a dry bulb measure?
A wet bulb measures the temperature after water evaporation allows to cool and a dry bulb measures air temperature.
What is the use of dry and wet bulb tenperature?
How you would use a wet-bulb thermoter and a dry-bulb theremometer to fine the relative humidity?
If the difference between a wet bulb and a dry bulb thermometer is great is the humidity low?
No, the humidity is high when wet and dry bulb temps are far apart.
What would the dew point temperature be when the wet and dry bulb temperature are the same?
the "current" temperature, ie, the temperature at which wet bulb and dry bulb are the same. when the wet bulb and dry bulb temperaturs equalized the dew point emperature equals them, because the air is saturated now.
Is The wet bulb thermometer reading is always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
Is the wet bulb thermometer reading always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
When wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature are equal?
for air water system wet bulb equals to dry bulb at 100 % relative humidity for that given temperature of air.
The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called?
wet-buld depression
Is the wet bulb thermometer reading always higher than a dry bulb reading?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
