प्रश्न
If a mosquito is dipped into water and released, it is not able to fly till it is dry again. Explain
Advertisements
उत्तर
A mosquito thrown into water has its wings wetted. Now, wet wing surfaces tend to stick together because of the surface tension of water. This does not let the mosquito fly.
