NEET Physics Surface Tension Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The capillary rise in a tube is directly proportional to the surface tension of the liquid.
Reason (R): The pressure difference at the meniscus is given by (2S cos θ)/a.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true and related as the capillary rise is due to surface tension, as given by the equation (2S cos θ)/a.
