Surface tension may be defined as

  • A
    The work done per unit area in increasing the surface area of a liquid under isothermal conditions
  • B
    The work done per unit area in increasing the surface area of a liquid under adiabatic conditions
  • C
    The work done per unit area in increasing the surface area of a liquid under both isothermal and adiabatic conditions
  • D
    Free surface energy per unit volume

Air (density $\rho$) is being blown on a soap film (surface tension $T$) by a pipe of radius $R$ with its opening right next to the film. The film is deformed and a bubble detaches from the film when the shape of the deformed surface is a hemisphere. Given that the dynamic pressure on the film due to the air blown at speed $v$ is $\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}$,the speed at which the bubble is formed is:

The surface tension of most of the liquids decreases with a rise in:

$A$ square frame of each side $L$ is dipped in a soap solution and taken out. The force acting on the film formed is ($T$ = surface tension of soap solution). (in $TL$)

How does the surface tension of a liquid change with temperature?

Define surface tension with its formula in the context of intermolecular forces.
