When air is blown into the soap solution, air gets trapped under the surface of the more flexible skin, stretching it into a sphere shape and making a bubble.
A bubble pops when the water trapped between layers of soap drys up evaporate. The thicker skin keeps the water from evaporating as quickly. So when glycerin is added, you can blow bigger bubbles and they last longer. Surface tension is one of many interesting properties of water. Check out these other experiments with water.

These reveal the underlying physics of that sound. When that bubble bursts, it begins with a break, or rupture, in the soapy film. As the rupture enlarges, the soap film retracts and shrinks. He is a physicist in France. He and colleagues recorded the sounds of bursting bubbles. The change in pressure is what the microphones record. The researchers also found that as the soapy film retreats, soap molecules pack together more tightly.
They become more dense near the edge of the film. This increased density now changes how much the molecules in the film are attracted to one another.
In this instance, the researchers looked to better understand the mechanics of bubbles popping and ways the action can be measured. To gain a better perspective on bubble popping, the researchers created an environment where bubbles could be created and popped on demand. They then filmed the action using high-speed cameras and recorded the noises that were emitted using sensitive microphones. By watching the bubbles popping in slow motion , the researchers were able to see that the burst began with the initial rupture.
As the rupture continued, the film that made up the walls of the bubbles began to retract along the boundary where the walls once existed. As they did so, the film grew thicker as it absorbed more of the material that had made up the bubble walls.
And as the walls retracted, air inside the bubble was pushed out. This was because the air inside of a bubble is held under a small amount of pressure due to the capillary forces arising from surface tension.
Eventually, the walls all gave way, and the liquid fell back into the soapy solution used to make the bubbles. The researchers also found that when a hole was created in the bubble, the forces that held it together became unbalanced, resulting in the rim surrounding the hole retracting and making the hole widen. The end result was a force on the air just outside of the bubble with strength varying depending on the size of the hole as it grew. Also, by listening to the recordings, the researchers found they were able to make out two distinct sounds: the walls retracting and the air rushing out of the bubble.
Then, by using the sounds they had recorded, they developed a model that could be used to predict the thickness of the bubble walls, where the rupture had been located on the bubble and several other properties of the initial bubble. Explore further.
