An air bubble of volume 2 cm\(^3\) is formed 20m under water. What will be its volume when it rises to just below the surface of the water if the atmospheric pressure is equivalent to a height of 10m of water?

A.

6cm3

B.

4cm3

C.

3cm3

D.

2cm3

E.

1cm3

Correct answer is A

P\(_1\)V\(_1\) = P\(_2\)V\(_2\)

When the bubble comes to the surface and pressure drops 3 times, the volume increases 3 times.

V\(_2\) = 3 x 2 

= 6 cm\(^3\)
