JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.2 surface tension

When two soap bubbles of radii \(a\) and \(b ( b > a )\) coalesce, the radius of curvature of common surface is

  1. A \(\frac{a b}{b-a}\)
  2. B \(\frac{a+b}{a b}\)
  3. C \(\frac{ b - a }{ ab }\)
  4. D \(\frac{a b}{a+b}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{a b}{b-a}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let say \(P_{1}\) and \(P_{2}\) are the excess pressure on the two sides of the interface then the resultant excess pressure is \(P\) \(\Rightarrow P=P_{2}-P_{1}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{4 T}{r}=\frac{4 T}{r_{2}}-\frac{4 T}{r_{1}}\)…
