The reciprocal of Young's modulus of a substance is termed compressibility.
- Compressibility can be defined as the change in volume of a substance with respect to the change in pressure applied to it.
- In simple words, if more pressure is needed to be applied for the volume change of a substance, it'll be said as less compressible.
- But if less pressure is needed to be applied for the volume change of a substance, it'll be said as more compressible.
- This leads us to the conclusion, that a less compressible substance has more Young's modulus, while a more compressible substance has less Young's modulus.
