Correct answer: D
- Given expression
Since logarithm's argument must be dimensionless,
must be dimensionless.
- Dimensions of entropy
Using
entropy has dimensions of energy per temperature:
Also, gas constant has the same dimensions as entropy per mole, so since is number of moles,
Boltzmann constant also has dimensions of entropy:
Hence,
- Find dimensions of
From dimensionless logarithm argument,
So,
Now is mechanical equivalent of heat. Since it converts heat into mechanical energy, it is dimensionless. Thus,
Also,
Therefore,
So,
Hence option C is correct.
- Find dimensions of
Since logarithm is dimensionless,
Using ,
Thus,
So is dimensionless.
- Check each option
Option A: and have the same dimensions
We found:
So this is correct.
Option B: and have different dimensions
We found:
So this is correct.
Option C: , , and have the same dimensions
Yes, all are entropy-like quantities. So this is correct.
Option D: and have the same dimensions
But
These are not the same. So this option is incorrect.
- Final answer
The incorrect option is:
