MCQ
$Assertion :$ A large force is required to draw apart normally two glass plates enclosing a thin water film.
$Reason :$ Water works as glue and sticks two glass plates.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
In this case, atmospheric pressure does not comes into it because it acts in all direction. The force which is effective in case of water between two pieces of glass is adhesive force. As, adhesive forces are considered that between two different bodies; cohesive forces are internal forces of a body, resulting from attraction between the molecules of it. The attractive force between water and glass (the glass contain silicium atoms, negatively charged and water is a polar molecule so that the positive side of water is attached and causes part of the bound) keep them firmly tovether. Due to the big surface of the glass slide, the resultant force is also big. So we have to apply a large force in order to separate two glass plates enclosed with water film.
