The word for this is meniscus. It comes from a Greek word meaning "crescent". It takes that shape due to surface tension.
To accurately measure the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder, you must read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid caused by surface tension.
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.
The meniscus is the curved surface of a liquid in a container. To read it, place the container at eye level and note the bottom of the curve where the liquid meets the container. Read the measurement at this point on the scale of the container to determine the volume of the liquid.
A graduated cylinder, measuring cup, or beaker can be used to measure liquid volume accurately. It is important to use the correct measuring tool and ensure the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) is at the correct measurement line for accuracy.
An air foil has a flat path underneath and a curved surface over the top. the air travelling over the curved surface travels slower as it has further to go than the same air underneath. this has the effect of causing a vacuum and therefore lift.

The curved surface at the top of a liquid in a container is called the meniscus. When measuring a liquid in a container, it's important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus to ensure an accurate reading.

Volume readings are made at the bottom of a curved surface called the meniscus. This is due to surface tension pulling the liquid up the walls of the container, creating a curve at the top of the liquid. When taking volume measurements, it is important to read the volume at the bottom of this curved surface for accuracy.
