Deflating Soap Bubble
written by
Gregor Steele
In this experiment you'll use the Tracker video analysis tool to study the rate at which a soap bubble shrinks as it deflates through a capillary tube. Combining this data with an independent determination of the surface tension of the soap solution enables you to determine the viscosity of air.
Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.6 of Java (JRE).
