  • A
    $l$ decreases and $h$ increases
  • B
    $l$ increases and $h$ decreases
  • C
    Both $l$ and $h$ increase
  • D

$A$ machine is blowing spherical soap bubbles of different radii filled with helium gas. It is found that,if the bubbles have a radius smaller than $1 \, cm$,then they sink to the floor in still air. Larger bubbles float in the air. Assume that the thickness of the soap film in all bubbles is uniform and equal. Assume that the density of soap solution is same as that of water $\left(= 1000 \, kg \, m^{-3}\right)$. The density of helium inside the bubbles and air are $0.18 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ and $1.23 \, kg \, m^{-3}$,respectively. Then,the thickness of the soap film of the bubbles is .......... $\mu m$ (Note: $1 \, \mu m = 10^{-6} \, m$)

The weight of a sphere in air is $50 \ g$. Its weight is $40 \ g$ in a liquid at temperature $20^{\circ} C$. When the temperature increases to $70^{\circ} C$,its weight becomes $45 \ g$. The ratio of the densities of the liquid at the two given temperatures is: (in $: 1$)
