If `n` drops of a liquid, form a single drop, then

A

some energy will be absorbed in the process

B

some energy will be released in the process

C

some energy absorbed or released in the process

D

energy neither absorbed nor released in this process

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`("Volume of 1 drop of liquid")= ("Volume of n droplets of liquid ")`
` 4/3piR^(3) = nxx4/3 pir^(3)`
` :. R = n^(1//3)r`
Initial S.E `= nxx 4pir^(2) xx T = nE`
Final S.E ` = 4 piR^(2) xxT = 4 pir^(2) n^(2//3) xx T`
` = 2^(2//3)`E
Energy released ` = E_(1) - E_(2)= E (n-n^(2//3))`
