The ratio of volumetric strain to volumetric stress is called
Correct answer: C. Bulk modulus
- A. Compressibility
- B. Young's modulus
- C. Bulk modulus
- D. Plastic modulus
Explanation
Bulk modulus is a measure of the resistance of a material to uniform compression, defined as the ratio of the infinitesimal change in volume to the change in applied pressure.

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.
