A frame made of metallic wire enclosing a surface area A is covered with a soap film. If the area of the frame of metallic wire is reduced by 50%, the energy of the soap film will be changed by

  • 100%

  • 75%

  • 50%

  • 25%

Solution

C.

50%

Surface energy = surface tension × surface area

                  E = T × 2A

New surface energy

           E1 = T × 2 A2        = T × A

% decrease in surface energy

               =E1 - E2E × 100= 2TA -TA 2TA× 100

% decrease in surface energy = 50%
