Why cooling is caused by evaporation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This is due to the reason that the molecules which undergo evaporation are high energy molecules and therefore, the kinetic energy of the remaining molecules becomes less. Since the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, their temperatures become low.
