Answer:

Td=
16^(0) C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define some terms before a deep dive into the solution.

Dew temperature is the temperature when air is unable to hold some water vapour. It condenses and releases the water vapour

Temperature is the hotness or coldness of a body.It is measured in celsius, fahrenheit, kelvin or Rankine

Relative Humidity is the quantity of water in air

Td = T - ((100 - RH)/5.)

Using the above formula

Td=dew temperature

T=air temperature

RH=Relative Humidity

Td=26-(100-50)/5

Td=26-50/5

Td=26-10

Td=16 deg C
