Define compressibility....

Define compressibility.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The reciprocal of the bulk modulus is called compressibility. It is defined as the fractional change in volume per unit increase in pressure.
(ii) From the equation `K = (sigma_(a))/(epsilon_(v)) = -(Delta P)/(Delta V)` we can say that the compressibility
`C = (1)/(K) = (epsilon_(v))/(sigma_(n)) = -(Delta V)/(DeltaP)`
