Wave Mechanics Question 532
Question: A spherical ball contracts in volume by 0.02% when subjected to a pressure of 100 atmosphere. Assuming one atmosphere $ =10^{5}N{{m}^{-2}} $ , the bulk modulus of the material of the ball is
Options:
A) $ 0.02\times 10^{5}N/m^{2} $
B) $ 0.02\times 10^{7}N/m^{2} $
C) $ 50\times 10^{7}N/m^{2} $
D) $ 50\times 10^{9}N/m^{2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] $ B=-\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta V/V}=\frac{100\times 10^{5}}{(0.02/100)} $
$ =50\times 10^{9}N/m^{2}s $
