Name the various forms of condensation.
Answers
Answer:
After condensation the water vapour or the moisture in the atmosphere takes one of the following forms — dew, frost, fog and clouds. Condensation takes place when the dew point is lower than the freezing point as well as higher than the freezing point.
Explanation:
Answer:
Forms of condensation can be classified on the basis of temperature and location.
Condensation takes place:
1. when the temperature of the air is reduced to dew point with its volume remaining constant;
2. when both the volume and the temperature are reduced;
3. when moisture is added to the air through evaporation.
Condensation takes one of the following forms — dew, frost, fog and clouds.
Dew - Condensation of water vapour in the form of water droplets on a cool solid surface when the dew point of the air mass is above the freezing point.
Frost - Condensation of water vapour in the form of minute ice crystals on cold solid surface when the dew point of the air mass is at or below the freezing point.
