ML⁻²T⁻³

B

ML²T⁻²

C

ML²T⁻¹

D

ML⁻²T⁻²

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the dimensional formula of Planck's constant (hh), we can use the equation E=hνE = h\nu, where EE is energy and ν\nu is frequency.

  1. Rearrange the formula: h=Eνh = \frac{E}{\nu}
  2. Identify Dimensions:
  • Energy (EE): Work done = Force ×\times Distance. Dimensions = [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}].
  • Frequency (ν\nu): Inverse of time period. Dimensions = [T1][T^{-1}].
  1. Calculate Dimensions of hh: [h]=[ML2T2][T1]=[ML2T2(1)]=[ML2T1][h] = \frac{[ML^2T^{-2}]}{[T^{-1}]} = [ML^2T^{-2 - (-1)}] = [ML^2T^{-1}] Alternatively, the unit of Planck's constant is Joule-second (JsJ\cdot s). [Js]=[ML2T2]×[T]=[ML2T1][J\cdot s] = [ML^2T^{-2}] \times [T] = [ML^2T^{-1}] Note: Planck's constant has the same dimensions as Angular Momentum.
