MCQ
Two thermometers are used to record the temperature of a room. If the bulb of one is wrapped in wet hanky
  • A
    The temperature recorded by both will be same
  • B
    The temperature recorded by wet-bulb thermometer will be greater than that recorded by the other
  • The temperature recorded by dry-bulb thermometer will be greater than that recorded by the other
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: C.
The temperature recorded by dry-bulb thermometer will be greater than that recorded by the other
c
(c)Due to evaporation cooling is caused which lowers the temperature of bulb wrapped in wet hanky.
