In this paper we have derived Young's, Wenzel's and Cassie-Baxter's equations using conceptual model rather than showing rigorous derivation to help the new-comers in this field. We then pointed out that if the substrate is initially hydorphilic then one can modify the surface morphology and make the substrate to become hydrophobic or superhydrophobic. But, if the substrate is initially hydrophobic then one can only make it superhydrophobic but not hydrophilic by modifying the surface morphology using the formalisms mentioned in this paper
