Correct answer: B

  1. 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): ΔP=2SR\Delta P = \frac{2S}{R}ΔP=R2S​
  • For a soap bubble (two surfaces: inner and outer): ΔP=2×2SR=4SR\Delta P = 2\times \frac{2S}{R} = \frac{4S}{R}ΔP=2×R2S​=R4S​
  1. Apply to the soap bubble

Given:

  • Radius of bubble =R= R=R
  • Surface tension =S= S=S

Therefore, excess pressure inside the soap bubble is Pinside−Poutside=4SRP_{\text{inside}} - P_{\text{outside}} = \frac{4S}{R}Pinside​−Poutside​=R4S​

  1. Check options
  • A: SR\frac{S}{R}RS​ ❌
  • B: 4SR\frac{4S}{R}R4S​ ✅
  • C: 4RS\frac{4R}{S}S4R​ ❌ (dimensionally wrong)
  • D: 2SR\frac{2S}{R}R2S​ ❌ (this is for a liquid drop, not a soap bubble)

Hence, the correct option is B.
