Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.
Statement II: The rise of a liquid in a capillary tube does not depend on the inner radius of the tube.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Statement I is correct as we know contact angle depends on cohesine and adhesive forces.
Statement II is incorrect because height of liquid is given by 
where 
is radius of Tube (assuming length of capillary is sufficient) Hence option is correct.
