Question

Which one of the following does not have the same dimensions?

A

Work and energy

B

Angle and strain

C

Relative density and refractive index

D

Planck constant and energy

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine which pair has different dimensions, we analyze each option:

  1. Work and Energy: Work (W=FdW = F \cdot d) has dimensions [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] . Energy (EE) has dimensions [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] .
  • Result: Same dimensions.
  1. Angle and Strain: Angle (θ=arc/radius\theta = \text{arc}/\text{radius}) is a ratio of lengths (L/LL/L). It is dimensionless [M0L0T0][M^0L^0T^0] . Strain (ΔL/L\Delta L/L) is a ratio of lengths. It is dimensionless [M0L0T0][M^0L^0T^0] .
  • Result: Same dimensions.
  1. Relative Density and Refractive Index: Relative Density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. It is dimensionless . Refractive Index (n=c/vn = c/v) is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. It is dimensionless [M0L0T0][M^0L^0T^0] .
  • Result: Same dimensions.
  1. Planck Constant and Energy: Planck constant (hh) is defined by E=hνE = h\nu . Its dimensions are Energy divided by Frequency: [ML2T2][T1]=[ML2T1]\frac{[ML^2T^{-2}]}{[T^{-1}]} = [ML^2T^{-1}] . Energy (EE) has dimensions [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] .
  • Result: Different dimensions.

Therefore, the Planck constant and Energy do not have the same dimensions.
