Zero wet-bulb depression signifies the air is

A. Completely dry 
B. Partially saturated 
C. Fully saturated 
D. 3/4th saturate 

Choose the correct answer from the given option.

Answer: C – Full Saturated

Zero wet-bulb depression signifies the air is fully saturated.

Solution:

The wet-bulb depression (WBD) is the numerical difference between the dry-bulb temperature and the wet-bulb temperature.

 WBD = DBT -WBT

When the air is completely saturated, it reaches the saturation line, where the relative humidity is 100% and the dry bulb, wet bulb, and dew point temperatures are all the same. At this instant, wet-bulb depression is zero. It means that the zero wet-bulb depression signifies the air is fully saturated.
