Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 317

Question: Two spherical bubbles are in contact with each other internally as shown. The radius of curvature of the common surface is R, then

Options:

A) $ R>R_{1} $

B) $ R_{1}>R>R_{2} $

C) $ R<R_{2} $

D) $ R=R_{1} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Pressure difference is largest between atmosphere and smaller bubbles. Hence radius of curvature (R) is smallest.
