Q. Surface tension vanishes at

A) absolute zero temperature
B) transition temperature
C) critical temperature
D) None of the above
Explanation

(c) The surface tension of liquid decreases with increases of temperature. For small temperature differences it decreases almost linearly. The surface tension of a liquid becomes zero at a particular temperature, called the critical temperature of that liquid.
