Wetting Experiments with a "Web Cam" in an Undergraduate Student Laboratory
Ritacco, Hernan
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n1 p114-116 Jan 2006
A simple, low-cost experiment to demonstrate the wetting dynamics of liquids on solid surfaces is described, where a "Web cam" is used to measure the expansion of the drop as a function of time. The advantage of a Web cam is its low cost, which permits an individual setup per student and the results obtained from the students with these devices are good and instructive.
