Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

Two soap bubbles having radii ' r1r_1 ' and ' r2r_2 ' has inside pressure ' P1P_1 ' and ' P2P_2 ' respectively. If P0P_0 is external pressure then ratio of their volume is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Excess pressure P−P0=4TrP - P_0 = \frac{4T}{r}, so r∝1P−P0r \propto \frac{1}{P - P_0}.
  2. r1r2=P2−P0P1−P0\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{P_2 - P_0}{P_1 - P_0}
  3. V1V2=(r1r2)3=(P2−P0)3(P1−P0)3\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3 = \frac{(P_2 - P_0)^3}{(P_1 - P_0)^3}
  4. So the answer is (c).
