According to the principle of dimensional homogeneity, the argument of an exponential function must be dimensionless. Therefore, the dimension of is . . Also, the equation must be dimensionally consistent, meaning the dimension of the left-hand side () must be equal to the dimension of the right-hand side (). . Thus, the dimensions of and are and respectively.
