Does the term meniscus refer only to the surface tension of a liquid facing air?

Question

Or does it also apply to a liquid facing a liquid (such as between oil and vinegar)?

Answer 1

A meniscus (plural: menisci, from the Greek for "crescent") is a curve in the surface of a liquid and is produced in response to the surface of the container or another object. It can be either concave or convex. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid repel the molecules of the container or object. This may be seen between mercury and glass in barometers. Conversely, a concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid attract those of the container. This can be seen between water and glass. Surface tension acts on concave menisci to pull the liquid up, and on convex menisci to pull the liquid down. This phenomenon is important in transpirational pull.

Answer 2

the outdoors tension of water delivers the mandatory wall tension for the formation of bubbles with water. The tendency to cut back that wall tension pulls the bubbles into around shapes (LaPlace's regulation). The tension difference between the interior and outdoors of a bubble relies upon on the outdoors tension and the radius of the bubble. the dating may be won by potential of visualizing the bubble as 2 hemispheres and noting that the interior tension which has a tendency to push the hemispheres aside is counteracted by potential of the outdoors tension performing around the cirumference of the circle. For a bubble with 2 surfaces offering tension tension, the tension dating is:

Answer 3

I know it also refers to something in anatomy, because when I was a legal secretary, I typed up things about it being torn.

Answer 4

Isn't meniscus in your knee?
