If a soap bubble expands, the pressure inside the bubble:

  1. A
    decreases
  2. B
    increases
  3. C
    remains the same
  4. D
    is equal to the atmospheric pressure

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The excess pressure inside a soap bubble is given by:

where is surface tension and is radius.Total pressure inside .As the bubble expands, increases. Since is in the denominator, the term decreases. Thus, the total pressure inside the bubble decreases.
