NEET Physics Young's Modulus MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about Young's Modulus is correct?
Young's Modulus is a measure of the stiffness of a material and is defined as the ratio of stress to strain.
Young's Modulus is greater for rubber compared to steel due to rubber's higher elasticity.
Young's Modulus applies only to materials that have undergone plastic deformation.
Young's Modulus is only relevant for compressive stress in materials.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Young's Modulus is indeed defined as the ratio of stress to strain, indicating a material's stiffness in the elastic region. The other options contain misconceptions about the properties and applications of Young's Modulus.
