Physics-Bulk Modulus
NEET Physics Bulk Modulus MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Which of the following statements about bulk modulus is correct?
A
Bulk modulus measures a material's resistance to uniform compression.
B
The bulk modulus is lower for solids compared to liquids.
C
Bulk modulus is defined independently of pressure changes.
D
A higher bulk modulus indicates that a material can compress easily.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Bulk modulus is defined as the measure of a material's resistance to uniform compression, indicating how much pressure is needed to achieve a given volume change. This concept is emphasized in the context of comparing the bulk modulus of water and air, where the ratio is significantly large due to the compressibility differences of these substances.
