Question
Chapter 15, Problem 52E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for “when relative humidity is high, sweat does not evaporate easily” is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The water droplets that are found on thin and exposed objects in the morning and evening do not evaporate easily.
Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour present in the air, calculated as the percentage of vapour required for saturation at the same temperature.
