What is the definition of isotropic?
A
bright in one direction, but not the other
B
Homogenous
C
Uniform density
D
Same in all directions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the study of mechanical properties of materials, “isotropic” means having identical values of a property in all directions. This definition is also used in geology and mineralogy. Glass and metals are examples of isotropic materials.

Detailed explanation-2: -As isotropic solid has the same value of physical properties when measured along different directions. Therefore, the given solid, having the same value of refractive index along all directions, is isotropic in nature. Hence, the solid is and amorphous solid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Isotropic materials have identical values of certain properties like refractive index, denisty etc. in all directions whereas homogeneous materials have uniform composition throughout the mixture.
