The shape of a soap bubble is spherical because:
  1. It minimizes volume
  2. It maximizes surface area
  3. It minimizes surface area for a given volume
  4. It is the only stable shape

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The shape of a soap bubble is spherical because:
  • Step 1: Understand that a soap bubble is filled with air and surrounded by a thin layer of soap and water.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the surface of the bubble is under tension, which means it tries to pull itself into the shape that has the least surface area.
  • Step 3: Learn that among all possible shapes, a sphere has the smallest surface area for a given volume.
  • Step 4: Conclude that because a sphere minimizes surface area, the soap bubble naturally takes on a spherical shape to be energetically favorable.
