The pressure inside two soap bubbles, (A) is 1.01 and that of (B) is 1.02 atmosphere respectively. The ratio of their respective radii (A to B) is (outside pressure \(=1 \mathrm{~atm}\).)

  1. A \(2: 1\)
  2. B \(4: 1\)
  3. C \(6: 1\)
  4. D \(8: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Outside pressure \(=1 \mathrm{~atm}\)
Pressure inside first bubble \(=1.01 \mathrm{~atm}\)
Pressure inside second bubble \(=1.02 \mathrm{~atm}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Excess pressures will be \(\Delta \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}=1.01-1=0.01 \mathrm{~atm}\) and \(\Delta \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}=1.02-1=0.02 \mathrm{~atm}\) Now, \(\Delta \mathrm{P} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{r} \propto \frac{1}{\Delta \mathrm{P}}\) \(\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\Delta \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}}=\frac{0.02}{0.01}=\frac{2}{1}\)
