A sling psychrometer can measure humidity because Answer, the dry bulb will measure the same temperature no matter how much water is in the air. Answer, the cooling of the wet bulb is independent of the amount of water in the air. Answer, the heating of the dry bulb is proportional to the amount of water in the air. Selected Answer, the cooling of the wet bulb is proportional to the amount of water in the air. Answer, the heating of the wet bulb is proortional to the amount of water in the air. Answer, the cooling of the dry bulb is proportional to the amount of water in the air.
