Скачать или смотреть Meniscus Meaning In English

In a general sense, the term "meniscus" refers to the curved surface that forms at the boundary between a liquid and the container holding it, typically seen in test tubes, beakers, or glasses. This curvature occurs due to the adhesive and cohesive forces between the liquid molecules and the container, causing the liquid to either bulge upward (convex meniscus) or dip downward (concave meniscus). The shape of the meniscus can vary depending on the properties of the liquid and the material of the container, and it is often used in laboratory measurements, such as determining the volume of a liquid using graduated cylinders or pipettes.
