Vedclass · Answer

(C) Statement $I$ is correct because the contact angle depends on the nature of the solid and liquid surfaces,as well as the cohesive and adhesive forces between the molecules.Statement $II$ is incorrect because the height $h$ of a liquid column in a capillary tube is given by the formula $h = \frac{2T \cos 	heta}{ho g r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension,$	heta$ is the contact angle,$ho$ is the density of the liquid,$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,and $r$ is the inner radius of the capillary tube. Since $h \propto \frac{1}{r}$,the rise of the liquid depends on the radius of the tube.Therefore,Statement $I$ is true and Statement $II$ is false.
