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
