When water droplets merge to form a bigger drop

A

energy is liberated

B

energy is absorbed

C

neither liberated nor absorbed

D

Some mass is converte into energy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When two droplets merge with each other, their surface energy decreases.
`W=T(triangleA)=`(negative) i.e., Energy is released.
