STANDARD Physics Surface Tension MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The surface tension of soap solution at a temperature 20°C is 2.5 × 10⁻² N m⁻¹. The excess pressure inside a bubble of soap solution of radius 6 mm is

A

12.5 Pa

B

14.2 Pa

C

15.5 Pa

D

16.7 Pa

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The excess pressure inside a soap bubble is given by P = 4S/r. Substituting S = 2.5 × 10⁻² N m⁻¹ and r = 6 × 10⁻³ m, we get P = 16.7 Pa.
