The weather report reads, "Temperature 20°C : Relative humidity 100%". What is the dew point?

उत्तर
Here,
Relative humidity = 100%
RH = `"Vapour pressure of air"/"SVP at the same temperature"` = 1
⇒ Vapour pressure of air = SVP at the same temperature
So , the air is saturated at `20^circ`C . So , dew point is `20^circ` C .
