A wet bulb measures the temperature after water evaporation allows to cool and a dry bulb measures air temperature.
You would use a sling psychrometer to measure both dry bulb and wet bulb temperature. The dry bulb thermometer measures the air temperature, while the wet bulb thermometer measures the temperature with evaporative cooling considered.
The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called the Wet-Bulb Depression. It is a measure of air humidity, with a larger depression indicating higher humidity levels.
A psychrometer has two thermometers: a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer. It is used to measure relative humidity and can also determine dew point.
A psychrometer consists of two thermometers: a dry-bulb thermometer and a wet-bulb thermometer. It also uses a wick or cloth that is moistened with distilled water to acquire readings. These components work together to measure relative humidity in the air.

It is a way to measure the humidity level, without using expensive equipment.
How you would use a wet-bulb thermoter and a dry-bulb theremometer to fine the relative humidity?
A dry bulb thermometer is an ordinary one. It's given this name when it's used to measure air temperature. A wet bulb thermometer takes into account humidity.
No, the humidity is high when wet and dry bulb temps are far apart.
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.
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
