A soap bubble assumes a spherical surface . Which one of the following statement is wrong ?

A

The soap bubble encloses air inside it

B

The soap film consists of two surface layers of molecules back to back

C

The pressure of air inside the bubble is less than the atmospheric pressure.hence the atmospheric pressure compresses it equally from all sides to give it a spherical shape.

D

Because of the elastic property of the film , it tends to shrink to as small a surface area as possible for the volume it has enclosed .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The pressure inside the soap bubble is more than the atmospheric pressure - excess pressure =`(4T)/R`
Hence (c ) is the wrong option .
