Question

Please give right answer

Water on paraffin wax makes a
contact (meniscus) angle of
about 109°. If all else is equal,
will the capillary rise height
be higher (more positive or less
negative) in a thin (diameter = 1
mm) or a thick (diameter = 1 cm)
paraffin tube?
O Thin tube
Thick tube
O You can't tell from this
information.
The tubes will have the same
capillary rise.
