$A$ soap bubble assumes a spherical surface. Which of the following statements is wrong?

  • A
    The soap film consists of two surface layers of molecules back to back.
  • B
    The bubble encloses air inside it.
  • C
    The pressure of air inside the bubble is less than the atmospheric pressure; that is why the atmospheric pressure has compressed it equally from all sides to give it a spherical shape.
  • D
    Because of the elastic property of the film, it will tend to shrink to as small a surface area as possible for the volume it has enclosed.

In air,a charged soap bubble of radius $R$ breaks into $64$ small soap bubbles of equal radius $r$. The ratio of mechanical force per unit area of the big soap bubble to that of a small bubble is

$A$ bubble has surface tension $S$. The ideal gas inside the bubble has a ratio of specific heats $\gamma = \frac{5}{3}$. The bubble is exposed to the atmosphere and it always retains its spherical shape. When the atmospheric pressure is $P_{a1}$,the radius of the bubble is $r_1$ and the temperature of the enclosed gas is $T_1$. When the atmospheric pressure is $P_{a2}$,the radius of the bubble and the temperature of the enclosed gas are $r_2$ and $T_2$,respectively.
Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator,then $\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^5 = \frac{P_{a2} + \frac{4S}{r_2}}{P_{a1} + \frac{4S}{r_1}}$
$(B)$ If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator,then the total internal energy of the bubble including its surface energy does not change with the external atmospheric pressure.
$(C)$ If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat conductor and the change in atmospheric temperature is negligible,then $\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3 = \frac{P_{a2} + \frac{4S}{r_2}}{P_{a1} + \frac{4S}{r_1}}$
$(D)$ If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator,then $\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}} = \frac{P_{a2} + \frac{4S}{r_2}}{P_{a1} + \frac{4S}{r_1}}$
