Correct answer: C, D
- Pressure inside the bubble
A spherical soap bubble has two surfaces, so the excess pressure is
Hence at any state,
where is the pressure of the gas inside the bubble.
So for the two states,
Also volume of the bubble is
- Check option A: insulated bubble
If the surface is a perfect heat insulator, the process is adiabatic for the enclosed ideal gas:
Thus,
Since ,
Therefore,
which gives
But option A states
which uses instead of .
So A is false.
- Check option B: insulated bubble and total internal energy including surface energy
For a soap bubble, total relevant energy is
- internal energy of gas: ,
- surface energy: .
For an adiabatic change, . If the bubble changes quasi-statically,
where is gas pressure inside.
Now consider total energy
Then
Since
we get
Using
So total energy of gas + surface energy is not constant; it changes due to work done against atmosphere.
Hence B is false.
- Check option C: perfectly conducting surface, atmospheric temperature unchanged
If the surface is a perfect heat conductor and atmospheric temperature change is negligible, the gas remains at constant temperature. So process is isothermal:
Since ,
Thus,
This matches option C.
So C is true.
- Check option D: insulated bubble relation between temperatures
For adiabatic process of an ideal gas,
With ,
Since , we have
Hence,
So,
Therefore,
From adiabatic relation already found,
Thus,
This matches option D.
So D is true.
- Final conclusion
Correct statements are:
These agree with the stored answer.
