Question

As an air mass cools, water will condense when:

A. the temperature reaches the dew point.
B. the humidity reaches the dew point.
C. the relative humidity equals the standard humidity.
D. the air pressure reaches the atmospheric pressure.

Answer 1

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature at which water vapor mixes with air to saturate it is called as dew point temperature

At this point, the rate of following becomes equal -

a) Condensation of gaseous water (water vapor)

b) Evaporation of liquid water

However, when the temperature becomes lower than the dew point temperature, then instead of gaseous water, liquid water starts condensing.

Hence, option A is correct

Answer 2

The answer is A. Dew point is the temperature at which air will turn into water vapor, a state between gas and liquid. If the temperature is further cooled down to lower than the dew point, water will condense, in other words, the gas state of air will turn into liquid state of water.
