Assertion: Pressure in bubble (r) in the atmosphere of pressure P0 is P0+4σr where r is the radius and σ is surface tension.

Reason: 4σr is the excess pressure due to two surfaces exposed to the atmosphere.

Assertion: Rise of water level in capillary tube should be accounted vertically and not as the length of pipe in which it has raised.

Reason: More the radius, the rise will decrease in the different liquids tested.

Assertion: When there is a thin layer of water between two glass plates, there is a strong attraction between them.

Reason: The pressure between the plates becomes less than atmospheric pressure because pressure inside a bubble or drop is greater than outside pressure.

A glass capillary tube of radius r is placed vertically touching the surface of water. The water rises to height h in capillary tube. If now the tube is dipped into water till only h2 length of it is outside the water surface, the radius of curvature of the meniscus of water in capillary tube will be,

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.
