Refractive index mu is given as `mu=A+B/lambda^2,` where A and B are constants and lambda is wavelength, then dimensions of B are same as that of

A

wavelength

B

volume

C

pressure

D

area

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`mu,A and B/lambda^2` are dimensionless.
Hence, `[B]=[lambda^(2)]=[L^(2)]`
