6. Surface Tension, Angle of Contact, Drops, and Capillarity

  • Surface tension is a property of the interface between a liquid and another medium.
  • A liquid tends to have the least surface area permitted by external conditions.
  • Surface tension is equal to surface energy per unit area and force per unit length.
