Question

Two spherical soap bubbles of different radii coalesce. If V is the consequent change in volume of the contained air, and S the change in the total surface area, then show that 3PV + 4ST = 0, where T is surface tension of the soap solution.       

Solution

Correct option is

 

Let R1 and R2 be the radii of the bubbles, and R the radius of the bigger bubble. Let P be the atmospheric pressure. If p1 and p2 be the pressures inside the bubbles before coalescing and p the pressure inside the bigger bubble formed. Then 

             

If V1V2, and V be the corresponding volumes of the bubbles, then

. If temperature is constant, then by Boyle’s law, we have
