Consider the two statements:
Statement-1: A capillary tube is frst dipped in hot water and then dipped in cold water. The rise is higher in hot water.
Statement-2: Capillary tube is first dipped in cold water and then dipped in hot water. The rise is higher in cold water.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement-1 is false and statement-2 is true
Statement-2 is true and statement-1 is false because surface tension decreases with increasing temperature, leading to a lower rise in hot water.
