Wax is coated on the inner wall of a capillary tube and the tube is then dipped in water. Then, compared to the unwaxed capillary, the angle of contact $\displaystyle \theta$ and the height $\displaystyle h$ upto which water rises change. These changes are :
Official answer
(3)
$\displaystyle \theta$ increases and h decreases
