A frame made of a metalic wire enclosing O surface area Ais covered with a soap film. If the area of the frame metalic wire is reduced by 50% the energy of the soap film will be changed by
$ Surface energy = Surface tension \times surface ared $ $ E = T \times 2 A $ $ New surface energy F_1 = T \times 2 \left( { A \over 2} \right) $ $ \% decrase in surface energy = { E - E_i \over E } \times 100 $
