Concept 2 Quiz

Define humidity and explain the importance of, and the factors used, to determine relative humidity.

This activity contains 10 questions.

	The ratio of the air's water vapor content to its capacity at that same temperature and pressure is a measure of the air's   vapor pressure dry adiabatic rate wet adiabatic rate relative humidity mixing ratio

	The temperature to which air would have to be cooled to reach saturation is called the ____________ point.   dew adiabatic vapor sublimation critical

	Assuming equal volumes of air, a greater quantity of water vapor is required to saturate warm air than cold air.    True  False

	The principle of the psychrometer relies on the fact that the amount of cooling of the dry-bulb thermometer is directly related to the dryness of the air.    True  False

	When the water vapor content remains constant, an increase in temperature results in an increase in relative humidity.    True  False

	Air at the dew point temperature   is saturated is at capacity is experiencing the process of condensation a and b all of the above

	A type of hygrometer that uses electrical currents to measure humidity is called a/an   wet-bulb psychrometer sling psychrometer electric hygrometer hair hygrometer pulse hygrometer

	Relative humidity is _______ proportional to temperature changes.   independently directly inversely exponentially none of the above

	In many locations, relative humidity will be highest between midnight and six in the morning.    True  False

	Vapor pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure.    True  False
