Air is pushed in a soap bubble to increase its radius from 'R' to ' $2 \mathrm{R}$ '. In this case, the pressure inside the bubble
  1. does not change
  2. decrease
  3. becomes zero
  4. increase

Solution

Excess pressure in a soap bubble is given by $\mathrm{P}=\frac{4 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{R}}$ Hence if radius is increased, the pressure will decrease.
