Correct answer: B
- Concept used: Excess pressure due to surface tension
For a curved liquid surface, pressure inside is greater than pressure outside due to surface tension.
- For a liquid drop (one surface):
- For a soap bubble (two surfaces: inner and outer):
- Apply to the soap bubble
Given:
- Radius of bubble
- Surface tension
Therefore, excess pressure inside the soap bubble is
- Check options
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌ (dimensionally wrong)
- D: ❌ (this is for a liquid drop, not a soap bubble)
Hence, the correct option is B.
