Given below are two statements: Statement-I: When a capillary tube is dipped into a liquid, the liquid neither rises nor falls in the capillary. The contact angle may be 0°. Statement-II: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well: In the light of above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

(B) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.

(C) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.

(D) Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false.

Given below are two statements : Statement-I: When a capillary tube is dipped into a liquid, the liquid neither rises nor falls in the capillary. The contact angle may be \(0^{\circ}\). Statement-II: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well : In the light of above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Pick an option to check your answer.

Verified Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Statement-\(I\) is false but Statement-\(II\) is true.

Detailed explanation

Capillary rise

\(\mathrm{h}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~T} \cos \theta}{\rho \mathrm{gr}} \text {; }\)

If \(\theta=0^{\circ}\) then rise is non-zero

\(\therefore\) Statement- \(1\) is incorrect.
