JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.2 surface tension
Given below are two statements : \(Statement\) \((I)\) :Viscosity of gases is greater than that of liquids. \(Statement\) \((II)\) : Surface tension of a liquid decreases due to the presence of insoluble impurities. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- A Statement \(I\) is correct but statement \(II\) is incorrect
- B Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct
- C Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect
- D Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct
