When an air bubble rises from the bottom of lake to the surface, its radius is doubled. The atmospheric pressure is equal to that of a column of water of height ' $H$ '. The depth of the lake is

  • A
    H
  • B
    2 H
  • Correct answer
    C
    7 H
  • D
    8 H

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & P_1 V_1=P_2 V_2 \\ & \Rightarrow\left(P_0+h \rho g\right) \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=P_0 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi(2 r)^3 \end{aligned}$
Where, $\mathrm{h}=$ depth of lake $\Rightarrow \mathrm{h} \rho \mathrm{~g}=7 \mathrm{P}_0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{~h}=7 \times \frac{\mathrm{H} \mathrm{\rho g}}{\rho g}=7 \mathrm{H}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
