How will you show that glass is super cooled liquid ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On being heated,glass has the property to flow like liquids. If we examine carefully the window panes of old buildings, we observe that they become slightly thicker at the bottom than at the top. This is because glass flows down very slowly and makes the bottom portion slightly thicker. Hence, glass is called supercooled liquid.
