Why do water drops bead on a freshly waxed surface?
 
  A) The wax, which is nonpolar, pushes the water into a bead shape.
  B) The strong cohesive forces between water molecules attract each other and the result is a sphere, which is squashed down into a bead by the force of gravity.
  C) Water's cohesive forces between molecules results in a spherical shape and prevents the water droplet from spreading out evenly over the wax.
  D) A freshly waxed surface carries a small electrical charge, which repel the outer electrons on the water molecules.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
