Solution
Two applications of evaporation:
- When we sprinkle water on the roads in the summer evening, water evaporates by taking heat from the road and produces coolness in the surroundings and it becomes pleasant.
- After taking a bath in summer when we come out of the water, water evaporates taking heat from our body. The temperature of body falls and we feel refreshed.
