Two soap bubbles of radii \(r\) and \(2 r\) are arrangement shown in the diagram. The valve is now opened. Then which one of the following will result.

  1. A The radii of the bubbles will remain unchanged
  2. B The bubbles will have equal radii
  3. C The radius of the smaller bubble will decrease and that of the bigger bubble will decrease
  4. D The radius of the smaller bubble will decrease and that of the bigger bubble will increase
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) The radius of the smaller bubble will decrease and that of the bigger bubble will increase

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Pressure difference \(=\frac{4 T}{r}\) For smaller soap. \(\mathrm{p_{atm}}-\mathrm{p}_{i1}=\frac{4 \mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{r}}\) For bigger soap, \(\mathrm{p_{atm}}-\mathrm{p}_{i2}=\frac{4 \mathrm{T}}{2 \mathrm{r}}\) As the pressure inside smaller bubble is greater than pressure…
