All of the above processes are examples of the evaporation process.So, the correct option is D.
Evaporation is the process in which a liquid is converted to a gas at temperatures below the boiling point of the liquid. When energy, often in the form of heat from the sun, is added to a puddle of water, for instance, it gives water molecules enough energy to escape into the atmosphere as water vapor, resulting in the puddle slowly disappearing. In each of the given scenarios:
For option A Hot tea getting cold: The heat from the hot tea causes the liquid water to evaporate into water vapor, cooling down the tea.
For option B Wet clothes drying in the sun: The heat from the sun causes the water in wet clothes to evaporate into the air, leaving the clothes dry.
For option C Drying of a mopped floor: The water on the mopped floor evaporates into the air, leaving the floor dry.
Temperature plays a critical role in the rate of evaporation: the higher the temperature, the more energy molecules have to escape from the liquid phase to the gas phase, thus increasing the evaporation rate. In closed containers, evaporation is balanced by condensation, where water vapor molecules return to the liquid state, maintaining a constant water level as long as the container remains closed.
The probable question may be: "Which of the following processes is /are evaporation process:
A.Hot tea getting cold
B.Wet clothes drying in the sun
C.Drying of a mopped floor
D. All of the above"
