Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{10}\) th

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lets say radius of small droplets is \(r\) and that of big drop is \(R\)

\(\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3=1000 \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)

\(R=10 r\)

\(U_i=1000\left(4 \pi r^2 S\right)\)

\(U_f=4 \pi R^2 S\)

\(=100\left(4 \pi r^2 S\right)\)

\(U_f=\frac{1}{10} U_i\)
