Two soap bubbles of different radii are formed at the two ends of a hollow tube. Initially, a valve in the middle of the tube separates the air in the two halves of the tube. When the valve is opened, then
Options
- Aair flows from the bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes become equal
- Bair flows from bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till their sizes are interchanged
- Cair flows from the smaller bubble to the larger bubble
- Dthere is no flow of air
Correct answer
C. air flows from the smaller bubble to the larger bubble
Step-by-step solution
P = 2 T R R , for the smaller bubble is less as compared to the larger one. Thus, pressure P will be more in the smaller bubble. Since air flows from higher pressure to lower pressure, therefore, here air will flow from smaller bubble to the larger bubble.
