Two soap bubbles with radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ come in contact. Their common surface has a radius of curvature $r$. Find $r$.

  • A
    $r = \frac{r_1 + r_2}{2}$
  • B
    $r = \frac{r_1 r_2}{r_1 - r_2}$
  • C
    $r = \frac{r_1 r_2}{r_1 + r_2}$
  • D
    $r = \sqrt{r_1 r_2}$

Let $R_1$ and $R_2$ be the radii of two mercury drops. $A$ big mercury drop is formed from them under isothermal conditions. The radius of the resultant drop is

$A$ big drop is formed by coalescing $1000$ small identical drops of water. If $E_1$ be the total surface energy of $1000$ small drops of water and $E_2$ be the surface energy of the single big drop of water,then the ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is $x : 1$,where $x = . . . . . . $.
