A gas undergoes a process in which the pressure and volume are related by \( VP^n = \text{constant} \). The bulk modulus of the gas is
Show Hint
For a general process \( P^x V^y = C \), the bulk modulus is \( B = \frac{x}{y} P \).
Here the equation is \( V^1 P^n = C \), so \( B = \frac{1}{n} P \). \
