Sir, why answer is not bulk modulus.?

IIT JAM GG USP (1-15) 2019 The secondary (Transverse) waves do not travel through the outer core because Density is high Bulk modulus is low Density is low Shearing (rigidity) modulus is low

    sir wt is bulk modulus.
  • Rahul pandey Best Answer
    Outer core is liquid and shear modulus of liquid is zero. For the propagation of secondary waves through any material, the material must have some shear modulus. Since shear modulu...

    sir what is bulk modulus.
  • Sajan sarthak thankyou
    Outercore is liquid so shear stress can't be applied over liquid . so shear modulus is zero .
