Assertion : Bulk modulus of elasticity c...

Assertion : Bulk modulus of elasticity can be defined for all three states of matter, solid liquid and gas.
Reason: Young's modulus is not defined for liquids and gases.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correctn explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Bulk modulus is related to volume change and volume change is possible in all three states. Young's modulus is related to length change, which is possible only in solids.
