Question

Water droplets gather around the glass of cold water because:

• A. the water freezes at 273K
• B. water has high boiling point
• C. evaporation takes place from glass and it gathers outside the glass
• D. the vapour present in air loses energy on coming in contact with cold glass of water and gets converted into liquid state

Answer 1

The correct option is D the vapour present in air loses energy on coming in contact with cold glass of water and gets converted into liquid state

Water droplets gather around the cold glass of water as the outer surface of glass is cold so the water vapour from air loses energy and converts into droplets.
