Q123 / 160 · WBJEE 2012 · Physics

Water is flowing through a very narrow tube. The velocity of water below which the flow remains a streamline flow is known as

A
relative velocity
B
terminal velocity
Correct answer
C
critical velocity
D
particle velocity

Solution

The velocity of water below which the flow remains streamline flow is known as critical velocity.

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