Which of the graphs below could represent the relationship between the capillary rise h and the radius r of the

Options

  1. Ad
  2. Bb
  3. Ca
  4. Dc

Correct answer

D. c

Step-by-step solution

The capillary rise hh in a tube of radius rr is given by Jurin's law:

h=2Tcos⁡θρgrh = \dfrac{2T \cos \theta}{\rho g r}

where TT is the surface tension, θ\theta is the contact angle, ρ\rho is the density of the liquid, and gg is the acceleration due to gravity.

For a given liquid and capillary tube material, the terms TT, θ\theta, ρ\rho, and gg are constant. Thus, the relationship between hh and rr is:

h∝1rh \propto \dfrac{1}{r}

This indicates that hh is inversely proportional to rr, and the equation hr=constanthr = \text{constant} represents a rectangular hyperbola.

Looking at the given graphs, curve 'c' is a rectangular hyperbola, which correctly represents this inverse relationship.
