Given below are two statements:

Statement-I: When a capillary tube is dipped into a liquid, the liquid neither rises nor falls in the capillary. The contact angle may be 0∘.0^{\circ}.

Statement-II: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.

In the light of above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
Option A is correct. Statement-I is false because a liquid can rise or fall depending on the contact angle. Statement-II is true because the contact angle depends on the solid and liquid materials.
