When compared with solids and liquids, the gases have

A

maximum Young's modulus (Y)

B

maximum modulus of rigidity `(eta)`

C

minimum bulk modulus of elasticity

D

maximum bulk modulus of elasticity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`K_("solid") gt K_("liquid") gt K_("gas")`
Gases have the minimum value of bulk modulus.
[` K = V(dP)/(dV)` for solids and liquids, for the same pressure, dV is small but gases are most compressible i.e. dV is large and hence K is small.]
