Q171 / 180 · COMEDK 2016 · Physics

Liquid crystal phase which are more close to the solid than to liquid is

A
Nematic
Correct answer
B
Smectic
C
Lyotropic
D
Cholesteric

Solution

In liquid crystal phases, there are 4 types of phases as Nematic, Smectic, Cholesteric and Discotic. Of these, Smectic phase is more close to solid than to liquid.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
