The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of the expression \(\frac{m e^4}{\epsilon_0^2 h^2 c}\), we will analyze the dimensions of each variable involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of each variable:** - Mass (\(m\)): The dimension of mass is \([M]\). - Charge of electron (\(e\)): The dimension of electric charge is \([I T]\) (where \(I\) is electric current and \(T\) is time). - Permittivity of free space (\(\epsilon_0\)): The dimension of \(\epsilon_0\) can be derived from the equation \(F = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}\), which gives \([\epsilon_0] = \frac{[M][L]^3}{[T]^4[I]^2}\). - Planck's constant (\(h\)): The dimension of \(h\) is \([M][L]^2[T]^{-1}\). - Speed of light (\(c\)): The dimension of speed is \([L][T]^{-1}\). 2. **Substituting the dimensions into the expression:** \[ \text{Dimensions of } \frac{m e^4}{\epsilon_0^2 h^2 c} = \frac{[M] \cdot ([I T]^4)}{([\epsilon_0]^2) \cdot ([h]^2) \cdot ([c])} \] 3. **Calculating the dimensions of the denominator:** - For \(\epsilon_0^2\): \[ [\epsilon_0^2] = \left(\frac{[M][L]^3}{[T]^4[I]^2}\right)^2 = \frac{[M]^2[L]^6}{[T]^8[I]^4} \] - For \(h^2\): \[ [h^2] = ([M][L]^2[T]^{-1})^2 = [M]^2[L]^4[T]^{-2} \] - For \(c\): \[ [c] = [L][T]^{-1} \] 4. **Combining the dimensions of the denominator:** \[ [\epsilon_0^2 h^2 c] = \frac{[M]^2[L]^6}{[T]^8[I]^4} \cdot [M]^2[L]^4[T]^{-2} \cdot [L][T]^{-1} \] \[ = [M]^4[L]^{6+4+1}[T]^{-8-2-1}[I]^{-4} = [M]^4[L]^{11}[T]^{-11}[I]^{-4} \] 5. **Final expression for dimensions:** Now substituting back into our original expression: \[ \text{Dimensions of } \frac{m e^4}{\epsilon_0^2 h^2 c} = \frac{[M][I]^4[T]^4}{[M]^4[L]^{11}[T]^{-11}[I]^{-4}} \] \[ = [M]^{1-4}[L]^{-11}[T]^{4+11}[I]^{4+4} = [M]^{-3}[L]^{-11}[T]^{15}[I]^{8} \] ### Final Result: The dimensions of \(\frac{m e^4}{\epsilon_0^2 h^2 c}\) are: \[ [M]^{-3}[L]^{-11}[T]^{15}[I]^{8} \]

To find the dimensions of the expression \(\frac{m e^4}{\epsilon_0^2 h^2 c}\), we will analyze the dimensions of each variable involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of each variable:** - Mass (\(m\)): The dimension of mass is \([M]\). - Charge of electron (\(e\)): The dimension of electric charge is \([I T]\) (where \(I\) is electric current and \(T\) is time). - Permittivity of free space (\(\epsilon_0\)): The dimension of \(\epsilon_0\) can be derived from the equation \(F = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}\), which gives \([\epsilon_0] = \frac{[M][L]^3}{[T]^4[I]^2}\). ...
