  2. Soap bubble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_bubble

    A soap bubble Girl blowing bubbles Many bubbles make foam. A soap bubble (commonly referred to as simply a bubble) is an extremely thin film of soap or detergent and water enclosing air that forms a hollow sphere with an iridescent surface. Soap bubbles usually last for only a few seconds before bursting, either on their own or on contact with ...

  3. Laplace pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_pressure

    Experimental demonstration of Laplace pressure with soap bubbles. The Laplace pressure is the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of a curved surface that forms the boundary between two fluid regions. [1] The pressure difference is caused by the surface tension of the interface between liquid and gas, or between two ...

    Air bubbles rising from a scuba diver in water A soap bubble floating in the air. A bubble is a globule of a gas substance in a liquid. In the opposite case, a globule of a liquid in a gas, is called a drop. [1] Due to the Marangoni effect, bubbles may remain intact when they reach the surface of the immersive substance.

  5. Thin-film interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_interference

    In the case of a thin oil film, a layer of oil sits on top of a layer of water. The oil may have an index of refraction near 1.5 and the water has an index of 1.33. As in the case of the soap bubble, the materials on either side of the oil film (air and water) both have refractive indices that are less than the index of the film.

    The bubble shown below is a gas (phase 1) in a liquid (phase 2) and point A designates the top of the bubble while point B designates the bottom of the bubble. Bubble for hydrostatic pressure At the top of the bubble at point A, the pressure in the liquid is assumed to be p 0 as well as in the gas.

  9. Capillary length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_length

    For a soap bubble, the surface tension must be divided by the mean thickness, resulting in a capillary length of about meters in air! [5] The equation for λ c {\displaystyle \lambda _{\rm {c}}} can also be found with an extra 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} term, most often used when normalising the capillary height.
