Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The materials that show good analogy for anisotropy are to be selected.
Concept introduction:
Anisotropy is the phenomenon by which a material shows different values of a given property in different directions. It is a characteristic of those materials thathave their constituent particles in an ordered arrangement. All the crystalline solids are anisotropic in nature.
The phenomenon in which a material shows the same values of a given property in different directions is termed as isotropy. It is a characteristic of those materials thathave their constituent particles in unordered or random arrangement. All the liquids, gases, and amorphous solids are isotropic in nature.
A material can either be isotropic or anisotropic, but not both.
