Option 4 : Neither 1 nor 2
The correct answer is Option 4.
- When the moisture is deposited in the form of water droplets on cooler surfaces of solid objects, it is known as dew. The ideal conditions for its formation are the clear sky, calm air, high relative humidity, and cold and long nights.
- For the formation of dew, it is necessary that the dew point is above the freezing point. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.
- Frost forms on cold surfaces when condensation takes place below freezing point (00C), i.e. the dew point is at or below the freezing point.
- The excess moisture is deposited in the form of minute ice crystals instead of water droplets. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
