An air bubble underwater has the same pressure as that of the water.As the air bubble rises toward the surface (and its temperature remains constant),the volume of the air bubble
A)increases.
B)decreases.
C)remains constant.
D)increases or decreases,depending on the rate it rises.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the air bubble rises, the pressure exerted by the surrounding water decreases. According to Boyle's Law, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. Therefore, as the pressure decreases, the volume of the air bubble increases.
