Question
Chapter 11, Problem 14ST
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the formation of concave lens by water and convex lens by mercury in a test tube is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Cohesive and adhesive forces act on liquid when it comes in contact of a surface. Cohesive forces are the forces which bind the molecules together like hydrogen bonding, van der waals forces. Adhesive forces are the attractive forces which act on different molecules of two substances and cling them to each other.
