The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called?
wet-buld depression
What instrument do you use to measure dry bulb and wet bulb temperature?
You use a Hygrometer.
What would happen if a wet bulb had the same temperature as a dry bulb?
That means that there is 100% humidity. Normally evaporation from the wet bulb keeps its temperature lower than the dry bulb. At 100% humidity, there would be no evaporation, so they would show the same temperature.
What is the dew-point temperature when the dry bulb temperature is 16 degrees Celsius and the wet bulb temperature is 11 degrees Celsius?
-17
On a cold winter day the air temperature is 2C and the wet-bulb temperature is -1C What is the relative humidity at this location?
51%.... open to the Relative Humidity chart in the reference tables. the wet bulb temperature is -1C and the dry bulb temp. is 2C, making a difference of 3C. On RH chart, go down to 3C column (difference between the Wet bulb and dry bulb) until it intersects the dry bulb 2C. At this intersection is 51%
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 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.
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.
What is atmospheric depression?
it is difference between wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature.
The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called?
wet-buld depression
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.
What is the relative humidity when the dry-bulb temperature is C and the wet bulb temperature is C?
50 percent
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.
What instrument do you use to measure dry bulb and wet bulb temperature?
You use a Hygrometer.

That means that there is 100% humidity. Normally evaporation from the wet bulb keeps its temperature lower than the dry bulb. At 100% humidity, there would be no evaporation, so they would show the same temperature.
Why is temperature lower on a wet bulb the a dry bulb?
Because the process of evaporation absorbs heat from the bulb.
