Question

Two soap bubbles of different diameter are in contact with a certain portion common to both the bubbles. What will be the shape of the common boundary as seen from inside the smaller bubble ? Support your answer with a neat diagram and justify your answer.

Answer 1

When seen from inside the smaller bubble the common surface will appear 2T concave as (1) the pressure (excess) = 2T/R will be greater for concave surface & as R is small for the smaller bubble, the pressure will be greater.
