Abstract

Utilization of soap films to solve scientific questions was inaugurated by Plateau1; the question was, what is the radius of the “sphere of molecular action” which appears in Laplace’s theory of capillarity. If the foam lamella is so thin that the forces emanating from the molecules adjacent to one surface still have a significant value at the opposite surface, then, according to Laplace, the experimental surface tension should be smaller than that, γ, of thicker lamellae. Suppose that a lamella thickness δ m is found such that the surface tension of thicker films has the usual, and that of thinner lamellae, an abnormally low value of surface tension; then the above radius is equal to 0.5δ m .
