We get a plano-concave liquid lens held in between the two. Using this technique we find the refractive index of the liquid by getting newton's rings.

Is it true you could not drink from a glass without friction?

It is true that drinking from a glass without friction can be challenging because the liquid would not stay inside the glass due to lack of adherence. Friction between the liquid and the glass allows the liquid to be lifted and contained for consumption.


When does the meniscus of a liquid in a glass tube curve downward?

A meniscus is caused by surface tension and It curves down (concave) when the liquid adheres to the container more than to itself, like water and glass. Mercury clings more to itself than glass, so it is curved up (convex)


What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?

A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a type of thermometer that consists of a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, which expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The level of the liquid in the tube corresponds to the temperature, allowing for temperature measurement.


Is glass a solid or a liquid, and why?

Glass is a solid, not a liquid. Despite its appearance, glass is actually an amorphous solid, meaning its molecules are arranged in a disordered fashion, similar to a liquid, but they are still fixed in place like a solid. This is why glass does not flow or change shape over time like a liquid would.


Why are the thermometers called liquid in glass thermometers?

A so-called "glass" thermometer has a small bore-hole in the center of the glass that has some liquid in it. It's the activity of the liquid in the narrow hole that makes the thermometer a thermometer.

How do thermometers with in liquid in glass measure temperature?

Such thermometers are based on the fact that the liquid expands when the temperature increases. That's what the thermometers measure.


What is a liquid that condenses on glass when you breath on it?

The liquid that condenses on glass when you breathe on it is water. The water is a condensate, and the cooler glass causes water in air we exhale to cool and condense.


If there is 50cc left in a glass that holds 150cc what is the intake?

If there is 50cc of liquid left in a glass that holds 150cc, the intake would be the difference between the glass's total capacity and the remaining amount. Therefore, the intake is 150cc - 50cc = 100cc. This means 100cc of liquid has been consumed or taken out of the glass.


What will happen to the ends of the wires when they are immersed in melted glass?

The ends of the wires will stick to the glass and become embedded in it once the glass solidifies. This creates a strong bond between the wires and the glass.


What is liquid leading?

Liquid leading is a product used in stained glass art to create raised, textured lines between pieces of glass. It is a liquid adhesive that is applied like a thick paint and dries to a raised finish, providing structural support and enhancing the design of the stained glass piece.
