Question

# Pressure inside two soap bubbles are 1.01 atm and 1.03 atm. Ratio between their volumes is :

A
27 : 1
B
3 : 1
C
127 : 101
D
None of these.

Solution

## The correct option is A 27 : 1Excess pressure as compared to atmosphere inside bubble A is $$\triangle p_1 = 1.01 - 1 = 0.01 atm$$Inside bubble B is $$\triangle p_2 = 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 atm$$Also when radius of a bubble is r, formed from a solution whose surface tension is t, then excess pressure inside the bubble is given by $$p = \dfrac {4t}{r}$$\$Let $$r_1$$ be the radii of bubbles A and B respectively then $$\dfrac {p_1}{p_2} = \dfrac { 4T / r_1} { 4T / r_2} = \dfrac {0.01}{0.03}$$$$\dfrac {r_2}{r_1} = \dfrac {1}{3}$$Since bubbles are spherical in shape their volume's are in the ratio $$\dfrac {v_1}{v_2} = \dfrac {\dfrac{4}{2} \pi r_1^3}{\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r_1^3}$$$$\left( \dfrac {r_1}{r_2} \right)^3 = \left( \dfrac {3}{1} \right)^3 = \dfrac {27}{1}$$$$V_1 : V_2 = 27 : 1$$Physics
