When additional air is forced into a soap bubble, the pressure inside it
Options
- Adecreases
- Bincreases
- Cremains unchanged
- Dbecomes zero
Correct answer
A. decreases
Step-by-step solution
The pressure inside a soap bubble of radius and surface tension is given by , where is the atmospheric pressure.
When additional air is forced into the soap bubble, its size increases, meaning its radius increases.
Since the excess pressure is inversely proportional to the radius, an increase in leads to a decrease in the excess pressure.
Therefore, the total pressure inside the soap bubble decreases.
