water droplets appear on the outer surface of a tumbler containing ice cold water why?

Open in App
Solution

When water vapour come in contact with a cold surface, their temperature decreases due to loss of energy of the gaseous molecule and thus they condense on the cold surface, to form liquid droplet, as we know that decrease in temperature brings the particles of vapours close and converts it back into liquid. This process is known as condensation.
