2 What type of lens does a drop of water behave like?

A drop of water behaves like a convex lens, which causes light passing through it to converge and form an image. This bending of light is due to the differences in refractive indices between the air and water.


What type of mirror is formed when a mercury drop falls on the earth?

A concave mirror is formed when a mercury drop falls on the earth, as the shape of the drop creates a curved surface that can reflect light. This concave mirror can create a magnified and inverted image of objects placed in front of it.


For a given number of side there exist both a regular concave polygon and a regular convex polygon?

A concave polygon cannot be regular because regularity requires all angles (and sides)to be of equal measure. Even if you drop the requirement of regularity, there cannot be a concave triangle.


Can a drop of water be used as a magnifier?

Yes.Just pour it over a glass and it'd act like a convex lens.

Why mercury does not rise in capillary tubes?

A liquid has two properties (amongst many) called cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules/atoms of the liquid itself. Adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules/atoms of the liquid and other substances. Therefore, if the molecules' attraction for another substance is greater than the attraction between the molecules, the molecules will preferentially interact with the other substance. When you have a substance that is more attracted to the walls of a capillary tube than itself (i.e. adhesion > cohesion), the substance will exhibit capillary action and form a concave meniscus. Mercury, however, has a stronger cohesive force between its atoms than adhesive force to the walls of a capillary tube, and therefore will not preferentially interact with the tube, thus not demonstrating capillary action and forming a convex meniscus. Curved surfaces have a higher pressure (called LaPlace pressure) on the concave side of the curve than on the convex side. Because mercury has a convex meniscus it has a lower LaPlace pressure in the capillary than the surrrounding liquid. It will therefore show a capillary drop rather than the more common capillary rise seen with materials that have a concave meniscus like water.


Dose every water drop follow the same path?

It can and it sometimes it can't. It depends if the water drop was close to it. If was close to it the water drop would attrack the next water drop you drop


Is a drop of blood same size af a drop of water?

No it is not, a drop of blood is smaller than a drop of water but if you drop two drops of blood then that equals the right amount of water :)
