Would you the meniscus to be more obvious in cylinder filled with oil or alcohol?

The meniscus will be more obvious in a cylinder filled with oil. This is because oil has a higher viscosity and surface tension compared to alcohol, leading to a larger curvature at the liquid-air interface of the meniscus.

Law of lower and upper meniscus levels in determining liquid solution?

In measuring liquids using graduated cylinder, there are two things to consider. 1.) CLEAR LIQUID and 2.) COLORED LIQUID (as we may say) In identifying the volume of CLEAR LIQUID (e.g. plain water, oil, alcohol, etc.), THE LOWER MENISCUS is read. For the COLORED LIQUID (e.g. soy sauce, ketchup, etc. ) the upper meniscus is get, since there is only one meniscus there.. (meaning there is no upper & lower meniscus.)
