Question:medium
The liquid (mercury) meniscus in capillary tube will be convex if the angle of contact is
The liquid (mercury) meniscus in capillary tube will be convex if the angle of contact is
Show Hint
Convex meniscus = obtuse angle = non-wetting liquid; Concave meniscus = acute angle = wetting liquid.
