Decrease in temperature is noticed by sprinkling water in closed room. Because,

A

temperature of water is less than room

B

specific heat of water is high

C

latent heat of vapourization of water is high.

D

water is heat insulator

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
By sprinkling of water, it absorbs energy from room for vapourization and itto steam. Latent heat of vapourization of water is high, hence it converts into steam by absorbing heat, thus temperature of room decreases.
