Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

Pressure inside two soap bubbles are 1.01 and 1.02 atmosphere, respectively. The ratio of their volumes is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Excess pressures (outside 1 atm): ΔP1=0.01\Delta P_1 = 0.01 atm, ΔP2=0.02\Delta P_2 = 0.02 atm.
  2. ΔP∝1R⇒R1R2=0.020.01=2\Delta P \propto \frac{1}{R} \Rightarrow \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{0.02}{0.01} = 2
  3. V1V2=23=8\frac{V_1}{V_2} = 2^3 = 8
  4. So the answer is (b) 8:18 : 1.
