Why may a metallic sample appear to be isotropic even though a single crystal is anisotropic?
Options
- ABecause metals are transparent
- BBecause metals are highly conductive
- CBecause individual crystals are randomly oriented
- DBecause metals have a two-dimensional structure
Correct answer
C. Because individual crystals are randomly oriented
Step-by-step solution
A metallic sample may appear to be isotropic even though a single crystal is anisotropic because individual crystals in the sample are randomly oriented, as mentioned in the paragraph.
