A gas undergoes a process in which the pressure and volume are related by VPn= constant. The bulk modulus of the gas is:
Correct answer: D. pn
- A. n
- B. p1/n
- C. p/n
- D. pn
Explanation
The bulk modulus is defined as K = -V(dP/dV). By differentiating the given relation V Pⁿ = constant, we find that the bulk modulus for this specific process is K=P.n.
