The processes by which these structures breakup differ on either side of the Hinze scale. Jean Taylor proved that these structures form equal angles when three or four of them meet in a set of laws originally formulated by Joseph Plateau. The existence of a unique shape formed by two of these structures with given volume and minimum surface area is known as the “double [these structures] theorem.” The dynamics of these structures are governed by the Rayleigh–Plesset equation. Donald Glaser invented a particle detector that uses these structures and is the opposite of a (*) cloud chamber. Implosion of these structures results in sonoluminescence, which is often observed during cavitation. Though they exhibit iridescence due to optical interference, these structures are typically transparent because added dye will attach to their surfactants. For 10 points, name these pockets of gas enclosed by soap films. ■END■
ANSWER: soap bubbles [accept soap films before the end; prompt on voids or cavities or droplets; prompt on foams with “What structures comprise a foam?”; prompt on minimal surfaces or Plateau borders before mention with “What physical structures do those describe?”]
