Question
Which among the following statements is/are correct about Humidity?1. It is defined as amount of water vapour present in air2. The capacity of air to absorb water vapour decreases with increase in temperature.Select the correct code from the options given below: Only 1 Only 2 Both 1 & 2 Neither 1 & 2
Solution
The correct answer is "Only 1".
Here's why:
-
The first statement is correct. Humidity is indeed defined as the amount of water vapor present in the air.
-
The second statement is incorrect. The capacity of air to absorb water vapor actually increases with an increase in temperature, not decreases. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air.
