NEET · Physics · STD 11 - 9.2 surface tension
A liquid does not wet the solid surface if angle of contact is
- A \(0\)
- B equal to \(45^{\circ}\)
- C equal to \(60^{\circ}\)
- D greater than \(90^{\circ}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) greater than \(90^{\circ}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
If angle of contact is greater than \(90^{\circ},\) then liquid will not wet the wall of container.
