If you are provided with two tubes (A and B), where one is narrow and the other is relatively wider and if both are immersed in a beaker containing water as shown in the figure.

Why does B show higher water rise than A ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The tube B will show higher level than tube A because of the capillary action.

A beaker is filled with water as shown in figure (a). The bottom surface of the beaker is a concave mirror of large radius of curvature and small aperture. The height of water is h = 40 cm . It is found that when an object is placed 4 cm above the water surface, the image coincides with the object. Now the water level h is reduced to zero but there will still be some water left in the concave part of the mirror as shown in figure (b). The new height of the object h' above the new water surface so that the image again coincides with the object, will be (Refractive index of water = 4//3 )
