NEET Physics Bulk Modulus Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The bulk modulus of water is significantly higher than that of air. | Reason (R): Water is much less compressible than air.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bulk modulus of a substance is inversely related to its compressibility. Since water is much less compressible than air, its bulk modulus is significantly higher, which correctly explains the assertion.
