The sprinkling of water slightly reduces the temperature of a closed room because

A

temperature of water of less than that of the room

B

specific heat of water is high

C

water has large latent heat of vaportisation

D

water is a bad conductor of heat.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When water is sprinkled over a large area, evaporation takes place. As the latent heat of vaporisation is large cooling takes place.
