Thermometry & Thermal Expansion

Let 'W1\text{W}_1' be the work done in blowing a soap bubble of radius 'rr' from soap at room temperature. The soap is now heated and second soap bubble of radius '2r2r' is blown from the heated soap solution. If 'W2W_2' is the work done in forming this bubble then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Work to blow a bubble W=8πr2TW = 8\pi r^2 T (two surfaces).
  2. At radius 2r2r with the same TT it would be 4W14W_1.
  3. Surface tension decreases on heating, so T′<TT' < T.
  4. So W2<4W1W_2 < 4W_1, answer (d).
