The cold water reduces the temperature of the glass. The cold glass reduces the temperature of the air around the glass. The amount of moisture in air is temperature dependant hotter air can contain a higher moisture content. If the air temperature is reduced the water condenses. In this case the cold glass reduces the air temperature in contact with the glass, this results in the condenstion of moisture from the air, and water droplets are formed.

Explain why bubbles are formed when the fizzy drink is poured into a glass?

CO2 gas is put into solution in a fizzy drink. When the drink is poured, some of the gas contained in solution starts to form bubbles on the surface of the glass. They attempt to hold on, but with the agitation pouring, many are knocked free instantly to float to the surface and pop.

Why do water droplets appear on a glass of water?

Droplets appear on a glass of water because of condensation. When the air touches the cold glass, it turns into a liquid, forming a droplet. This is because, when you add heat, a liquid turns to a gas, but when you take away heat, it turns back into a liquid.

Why does a glass tumbler containing ice-cool drink show droplets of water on its outer surface?

When the cold drink is poured into the glass, the air around it cools down quickly. This causes the water vapor in the air to condense on the colder surface of the glass, leading to the formation of droplets. The droplets are essentially water from the air that has condensed on the chilled surface of the glass.

Why do letters appear to be bigger when a drop of water is above them?

The drop of water acts like a magnifying glass. It would be a similar shape to one, while the water (having a different refractive index) will slow light down and distort it in the same way as the glass would.

When cold water is poured into a glass the glass becomes colder?

When cold water is poured into a glass, heat energy is transferred from the glass to the water, causing the glass to become colder. The glass loses heat as it transfers it to the colder water until thermal equilibrium is reached.
