Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: water will not rise.
When a thin capillary tube is replaced with another tube of insufficient length, the water will not rise to the same height in the new tube. This is because the water pressure at the bottom of the tube is greater in the shorter tube than in the longer tube. The greater water pressure at the bottom of the shorter tube pushes the water up the tube less than in the longer tube.
Option A is incorrect because the water will not overflow the top of the tube. Option B is correct because the water will not rise to the same height in the new tube. Option C is incorrect because the water will not be depressed in the new tube. Option D is incorrect because the water will not change its meniscus.
