If P represents radiation pressure , C ...

If `P` represents radiation pressure , `C` represents the speed of light , and `Q` represents radiation energy striking a unit area per second , then non - zero integers `x, y, z` such that `P^(x) Q^(y) C^(z)` is dimensionless , find the values of `x, y , and z`.

A

`x=1`,`y=1`,`z=-1`

B

`x=1`,`y=1`,`z=1`

C

`x=-1`,`y=1`,`z=1`

D

`x=1`,`y=1`,`z=1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

By substituting the dimension of given quantities `[ML^-1T^-2]^x[MT^-2]^y[LT^-1]^z=[MLT]^0`
comparing the power of M, L, T in both sides
`x+y=0` ..(i)
`-x+z=0` .(ii)
`-2x-2y-z=0` .(iii)
The only values of x,y,z satisfying (i),(ii) and (iii) corresponds to (b).
