Planck's constant h, speed of light c and gravitational constant G are used to form a unit of length L and a unit of mass M. Then the correct option(s) is(are)
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D, A, C
- Assume the required forms
We need to form:
- a unit of length using
- a unit of mass using
Let
and
- Write dimensions of the constants
The dimensions are:
- Find the unit of length
We want
So,
For length, compare powers with :
-
Mass exponent:
-
Time exponent: Using :
-
Length exponent: Using :
Hence,
Therefore,
So:
- ✅
- ✅
Thus options C and D are correct.
- Find the unit of mass
We want
So,
Compare with :
-
Mass exponent:
-
Length exponent:
-
Time exponent:
From the third equation,
Substitute into the second:
Now use :
Thus,
and
Therefore,
So:
- ✅
- ❌, since actually
Thus option A is correct, B is incorrect.
- Final answer
The correct options are:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer:
This matches exactly (order does not matter).
