Question:medium

An air bubble rises from the bottom of a lake of depth \(37\) m. The temperature of the lake is constant from the bottom to the top and atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure due to \(10\) m of water column. The percentage increase in the volume of the bubble when it rises from a depth of \(20\) m to a depth of \(15\) m is

Show Hint

For an isothermal process, \[ \boxed{PV=\text{constant}.} \] Pressure at a depth \(h\) in water is \[ \boxed{P=P_{\text{atm}}+\rho gh.} \] When atmospheric pressure is expressed as an equivalent water column, simply add the corresponding height.
