Dew point and wet bulb temperatures are very important in indicating the state of the humid air.
Wet bulb vs dew point.
The dry bulb wet bulb and dew point temperatures are important to determine the state of humid air.
At this point the air cannot hold more water in the gas form.
For the saturated air the dry bulb temperature the wet bulb temperature and dew point temperature are same.
Dry bulb wet bulb and dew point temperatures.
Higher the mositure content of the air higher is the dew point temperature.
Wet bulb temperature is measured using a thermometer that has its bulb wrapped in cloth called a sock that is kept wet with distilled water via wicking action.
The dew point temperature of air depends upon its mositure content.
The dry bulb wet bulb and dew point temperatures are important to determine the state of humid air.
It includes a dry bulb thermometer a wet bulb thermometer and a psychrometric chart a graph that plots the relationships between the dry and wet bulb temperature relative humidity and dew point at constant pressure.
Such an instrument is called a wet bulb thermometer.

By definition wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature a portion of air can acquire by evaporative cooling only.
The key difference between dewpoint and wet bulb temperature is that dewpoint temperature is the temperature to which we should cool the air to saturate the air with water vapor whereas wet bulb temperature is the temperature that we get from a moistened thermometer bulb that is exposed to air flow.
A widely used device for measuring wet and dry bulb temperature is a sling psychrometer which consists of a pair of mercury bulb thermometers one with a wet sock to measure.

The knowledge of only two of these values is enough to determine the state including the content of water vapor and the sensible and latent energy enthalpy.
