B = P.V/dV

i think its simple further...........

remember laplace correction derivation......................

Bulk Modulus = volume stress / volume strain
= -V.ΔP/ΔV

If u consider isothermal expansion. then PV=const
differentiating
==> PΔV + VΔP = 0
==> B = -(V.ΔP/ΔV) = P

For adiabatic expansion.
PVγ = const
taing log.
logP + γlogV = const
differentiating
ΔP/P + γΔV/V = 0
==> B = -(V.ΔP/ΔV) = -ΔP/(ΔV/V) = γP

so the ration is γ

i never derive this cuz i know that velocity of sound = √B/ρ

and Newton took isothermal so he got √P/ρ
while Laplace took adiabatic so got √γP/ρ
