प्रश्न
A spherical soap bubble A of radius 2 cm is formed inside another bubble B of radius 4 cm. Show that the radius of a single soap bubble which maintains the same pressure difference as inside the smaller and outside the larger soap bubble is lesser than the radius of both soap bubbles A and B.
उत्तर
From the excess pressure inside a soap bubble
ΔP = `(4"T")/"R"`
Here the two bubbles having the same pressure and temperature. So the radius of the combined bubbles,
`1/"R" = 1/"R"_1 + 1/"R"_2`
`1/"R" = 1/2 + 1/4 = (2 + 1)/4 = 3/4`
R = `4/3` = 1.33
∴ R = 1.33 cm

What are the factors affecting the surface tension of a liquid?
Surface tension is exhibited by liquids due to force of attraction between molecules of the liquid. The surface tension decreases with increase in temperature and vanishes at boiling point. Given that the latent heat of vaporisation for water Lv = 540 k cal kg–1, the mechanical equivalent of heat J = 4.2 J cal–1, density of water ρw = 103 kg l–1, Avagadro’s No NA = 6.0 × 1026 k mole–1 and the molecular weight of water MA = 18 kg for 1 k mole.

- Calculate F/d, which is a measure of the surface tension.
