प्रश्न
Explain why a gas bubble released at the bottom of a lake grows in size as it rises to the surface of the lake.

उत्तर
The reason is that when the bubble is at the bottom of the lake, total pressure exerted on it is the atmospheric pressure plus the pressure due to water column. As the gas bubble rises, due to decrease in depth the pressure due to water column decreases. By Boyle's law, PV = constant, so the volume of bubble increases due to decrease in pressure, i.e., the bubble grows in size.
