NEET 2019 Physics Surface Tension MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

A soap bubble, having radius of 1 mm, is blown from a detergent solution having a surface tension of 2.5 × 10⁻² N/m. The pressure inside the bubble equals at a point Z₀ below the free surface of water in a container. Taking g = 10 m/s², density of water = 10³ kg/m³, the value of Z₀ is:

A

1 cm

B

0.5 cm

C

100 cm

D

10 cm

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The pressure difference inside a bubble is given by 4T/r. Equating this to hydrostatic pressure ρgz gives Z₀ = 1 cm.
