Two separate air bubbles (radii 0.002m and 0.004m) formed of same liquid (Surface tension 0.07N/m) come together to form a double bubble. Find the radius of curvature in mm of the internal film surface common to both the bubbles.

Two soap bubbles A and B are kept in a closed chamber where the air is maintained at pressure 8N/m2. The radii of bubbles A and B are 2cm and 4cm respectively. Surface tension of the soap water used to make bubbles is 0.04N/m. Find the ratio nBnA, where nA and nB are the no. of moles of air in bubbles A and B, respectively [Neglect effect of gravity]

Two capillary tubes of same radius are lowered into a vessel with water as shown. The water in the straight tube rises to a height 'h'. The lower end of bent tube is at a depth 'H' below the level of the water in the vessel. What will the level of water be in bent tube and what form will the meniscus take? The incorrect option for the given situation is
