The radius of the bore of a capillary tube is (r ) and the angle of contact of the liquid is ( ). When the tube is dipped in the liquid, the radius of curvature of the meniscus of liquid rising in the tube is
Options
- A(r )
- B( r )
- C(r )
- D( r )
Correct answer
D. ( r )
Step-by-step solution
The given situation is shown in the figure, where, (r= ) radius of capillary tube, (R= ) radius of meniscus and ( = ) angle of contact. From figure, ( r R = R= r )
