If a soap bubble expands, the pressure inside the bubble:
Decreases
Increases
Remains the same
Is equal to the atmospheric pressure
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the pressure inside a soap bubble and its radius.The pressure difference between the inside and outside of a soap bubble is given by:where is the surface tension of the soap solution, and is the radius of the bubble.As the soap bubble expands, its radius increases.Since the pressure difference is inversely proportional to the radius an increase in will result in a decrease in Therefore, as the soap bubble expands, the pressure inside the bubble decreases.This corresponds to Option 1: Decreases.
