A soap bubble of radius a is blown so that its diameter is doubled. If T is the surface tension of water, the energy required to do this, at constant temperature is :

Answer»

8`pia^(2)`T
12`pia^(2)`T
16`pia^(2)`T
24`pia^(2)`T

Solution :Increase in area=`2[4pir2^(2)-4pir_(1)2]`
Factor 2 is taken because soap bubble has 2 free SURFACES.
`THEREFORE` Increase in area= 2`[4pi(2a)^(2)-4pia^(2)]`
`=24pia^(2)`
`therefore` Work done= surface tension `XX` Increase in area
`=24pia^(2)T`
Hence the correct choice is (d).
