Questions and Answers

Which of the following is the equation for calculating relative humidity?

  • relative humidity = water vapor content - water vapor capacity
  • relative humidity = water vapor content + water vapor capacity
  • relative humidity = water vapor content/water vapor capacity (correct)
  • relative humidity = water vapor capacity/water vapor content

What is the purpose of calculating relative humidity?

  • To determine the comfort level based on dew points
  • To balance the humidity in indoor buildings
  • To determine weather forecasts (correct)
  • To measure the amount of water vapor present

What is the dew point temperature?

  • The temperature at which the air becomes uncomfortable
  • The temperature at which clouds form
  • The temperature at which water droplets form on surfaces
  • The temperature at which air must be cooled to reach saturation (correct)
