Question

The temperature and the dew point in an open room are 20°C and 10°C. If the room temperature drops to 15°C, what will be the new dew point?

Solution

Here , 

Temperature = `20^circ`C

Dew Point = `10^circ`C

Air becomes saturated at `10^circ`C . But if the room temperature is lowered to `15^circ`C , the Dew point will still be at `10^circ`C .
