The outer surface of a beaker containing ice cubes becomes wet in short while - Give scientific reason.

Question  The outer surface of a beaker containing ice cubes becomes wet in short while. Answer  When ice cubes are placed in a beaker, ice starts melting.  The heat required for melting is absorbed from the surrounding air and also from the beaker to some extent.  Hence, the temperature of the air and beaker falls.  The capacity of air to hold water vapour depends upon the temperature of the air, and this capacity decreases as the temperature decreases.  At a certain low temperature, the surrounding air becomes saturated with water vapour present in it.  As the temperature falls further, the air is unable to hold all the water vapour.  Hence, the extra water vapour starts condensing on the cold outer surface of the beaker in the form of minute drops.  Therefore, The outer surface of the beaker containing ice cubes becomes wet in a short while.

Tungsten is used to make a solenoid type coil in an electric bulb - Give Scientific reason.

Question 

Tungsten is used to make a solenoid type coil in an electric bulb

Answer 

The intensity of light emitted by the filament of a bulb depends on the temperature of the filament. 
It increase with the temperature.
The melting point of the material used to make filament of a bulb should be very high so that the filament can be heated to a high temperature by passing a current through it, without melting it. 
This enables us to obtain more light. The melting point of tungsten is very high (3410C).
Hence, tungsten is used to make a solenoid type coil (filament) in an electric bulb.
