It is given that \frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \ cm/s 
We know that the shape of the air bubble is spherical
So, volume(V) = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}
\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dr}.\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{d(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3})}{dr}.\frac{dr}{dt} = 4\pi r^{2}\times\frac{1}{2} = 2\pi r^{2} = 2\pi \times (1)^{2} = 2\pi \ cm^{3}/s
Hence, the rate of change in volume is   2\pi \ cm^{3}/s
