'Crystalline solids-are anisotropic in nature.' What does this statement mean?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Crystalline solids are anisotropic In nature, that is some of their physical propertie$ like electrical resistance or-refractive index, show different.values, when measured along different direction-in the same crystals.
