Correct answer: A
- We compare the dimensions of each quantity in the given pairs.
- Option A: velocity gradient and decay constant
-
Velocity gradient means rate of change of velocity with distance:
-
Dimensions of velocity:
-
Therefore,
-
Decay constant comes from radioactive decay law:
-
Since must be dimensionless,
So both have the same dimensions:
Hence, Option A is correct.
- Option B: Wien's constant and Stefan constant
-
Wien's displacement law:
-
Therefore dimensions of Wien's constant are: where denotes temperature.
-
Stefan-Boltzmann law:
-
So,
-
Power per unit area:
-
Hence,
These are not the same.
So Option B is incorrect.
- Option C: angular frequency and angular momentum
-
Angular frequency:
-
Angular momentum:
-
Therefore,
These are not the same.
So Option C is incorrect.
- Option D: wave number and Avogadro number
-
Wave number is:
-
Therefore,
-
Avogadro number is a pure count, so it is dimensionless:
These are not the same.
So Option D is incorrect.
- Final conclusion
Only Option A has the same dimensions in the pair.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: A
My derived answer: A
They match.
