Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

Pressure inside two soap bubbles are 1.01 atm and 1.03 atm. The ratio between their volumes is (Pressure outside the soap bubble is 1 atmosphere)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Excess pressures: ΔP1=0.01\Delta P_1 = 0.01 atm, ΔP2=0.03\Delta P_2 = 0.03 atm.
  2. ΔP∝1R⇒R1R2=0.030.01=3\Delta P \propto \frac{1}{R} \Rightarrow \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{0.03}{0.01} = 3
  3. V1V2=33=27\frac{V_1}{V_2} = 3^3 = 27
  4. So the answer is (b) 27:127 : 1.
