In which condition will frost not form but dew may form?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Surface is cooled to dew point but remains above freezing

The correct answer is B. Dew is liquid water that forms when a surface cools to its dew point while the surface temperature remains above freezing. Frost is different: it is an ice deposit that forms when the relevant surface is at or below the freezing point and water vapour deposits as ice, or freezes after condensation. Therefore, a moist surface cooled to the dew point but still above freezing can develop dew, not frost. A is wrong because a surface below freezing favours frost or frozen deposits. C is wrong because completely dry air contains too little water vapour for much dew formation. D is wrong because a hot, dry surface is far from the conditions needed for condensation. Memory cue: “above freezing gives dew; at or below freezing favours frost.”
