Psychrometer is used to measure

Psychrometer is used to measure

Options

  1. Arelative humidity
  2. Bpressure
  3. Ctemperature
  4. Ddensity

Correct answer

A. relative humidity

Step-by-step solution

A psychrometer is a device which is used to measure humidity in the atmosphere through the use of two thermometer namely a dry bulb thermometer and a wet bulb thermometer. Through the comparision of both temperatures, individuals determine the relative humidity of the surrounding area by calculating the difference between the temperature. Barometer is used to measure pressure, thermometer is used to measure temperature and hydrometer is used to measure density.
