During winter,when taking a bath,water vapour appears. Explain the physical process.
(N/A) The appearance of water vapour during a bath in winter is a physical process known as $condensation$.
When hot water is used for a bath,it releases water vapour into the air.
In winter,the ambient air temperature is significantly lower than the temperature of the hot water vapour.
When this warm water vapour comes into contact with the cold air,it loses heat energy.
As a result,the water vapour molecules slow down and come closer together,changing from the gaseous state to the liquid state,forming tiny water droplets that appear as mist or vapour.
