Q

Which is TRUE concerning the dew point temperature?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Dew point as a measure of how much water vapor is already in the air • What it means for air to be saturated with water vapor • How air temperature, wet‑bulb temperature, and dew point relate to each other

💭 Think About

• If you cool a sample of moist air without adding or removing water vapor, what happens when it reaches the dew point? • Can the dew point ever be higher than the actual air temperature for the same parcel of air? Why or why not? • Which choice describes a condition in the air, and which choices talk about always higher/always lower relationships that might not be true in all situations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option correctly defines a physical condition (not just a comparison like higher or lower). • Ask: when air is saturated, what is happening with evaporation and condensation rates? • Check whether the option involving wet and dry bulb temperatures really matches the standard definition of dew point, or if that describes something else.
