what happens to the internal energy of water vapor in the air that condenses on the outside of a cold glass of water? Is work done or heat exchanged?

Heat is exchanged- the water in the glass warms up slightly, but it is not significant because there is so much more water inside the glass compared to the condensation.

The energy would be absorbed into the glass until the temperature of the glass and contents equalled the temperature of the condensation. No work would be done because no displacement occurs.

Definitely no work will be done without that cold delicious glass of water to quench my thirst! Hand it here and I will finish diggin' this here ditch sir.
