How does a hair hygrometer determine relative humidity?
By curly hair getting curlier as relative humidity changes
Hair hygrometers do not determine relative humidity
By measuring the change in tension of human hair which changes due to changes in relative humidity
By recording two different temperature readings on two different thermometers
0 / 1 pts
Relative humidity ______.
increases as temperature increases
is the actual amount of water vapor present in the air at a given time
decreases as temperature decreases
increases as temperature decreases

Why does the wet-bulb thermometer show a lower temperature than the dry-bulb thermometer when measuring relative humidity with a sling psychrometer?
Latent heat of evaporation taken in lowers the temperature.
It doesn't. Both thermometers show the same temperature.
Swinging the sling psychrometer attracts water vapor in the air which cools it down.
Swinging the sling psychrometer heats up the dry-bulb thermometer.

Relative humidity ______.
is measured with a thermometer
is measured using only guesswork and complicated mathematical equations
is measured with a hair hygrometer
cannot be measured accurately with any instrument
