Under isothermal conditions, two soap bubbles of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) coalesce to form a big drop. The radius of the big drop is

  1. A \(\left(r_1+r_2\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
  2. B \(\left(r_1+r_2\right)^2\)
  3. C \(\left(r_1^2+r_2^2\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
  4. D \(\left(r_1+r_2\right)^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(r_1^2+r_2^2\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total volume of liquid film is conserved: \(4\pi r_1^2 t + 4\pi r_2^2 t = 4\pi R^2 t\)
