A soap bubble of radius 1 cm expands into a bubble of radius 2 cm. Calculate the increase in surface energy if the surface tension for soap is 25 dyne/cm. |
|
Answer» Surface energy per unit area is equal to surface tension. E = increase in surface area × ST = 4π (22 – 12) × 2.5 = 4π × 3 × 2.5 = 1.02 × 103 erg |
