NEET Physics Bulk Modulus MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about bulk modulus is correct?
Bulk modulus measures the change in volume under uniform pressure without changing shape.
Bulk modulus is applicable only to solids and not to liquids or gases.
A high bulk modulus indicates that a material is very compressible.
Bulk modulus is defined as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Bulk modulus refers to the change in volume when every part of the body is under uniform stress, so the shape remains unchanged. It is relevant for solids, liquids, and gases, and a high bulk modulus indicates low compressibility, not high.
