NEET Physics Bulk Modulus MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about Bulk Modulus is correct?
Bulk modulus is defined as the ratio of change in pressure to the fractional change in volume.
Bulk modulus is only applicable to solids and cannot be used for liquids and gases.
A higher bulk modulus indicates that a material is more compressible under uniform stress.
Bulk modulus can be calculated from the change in volume of a material when subjected to a uniform pressure.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Bulk modulus is indeed defined as the ratio of change in pressure to the fractional change in volume under uniform stress, as mentioned in the context. Options B and C are incorrect since bulk modulus applies to solids, liquids, and gases, and a higher bulk modulus indicates lower compressibility. Option D is also correct but is less specific than option A.
