Solar constant is defined as energy received by Earth per `cm^(2)` per minute. Find the dimensions of solar constant.

A

`[M^(0)L^(0)T^(-2)]`

B

`[M^(1)L^(0)T^(-3)]`

C

`[M^(1)L^(1)T^(-2)]`

D

`[M^(2)L^(0)T^(-2)]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
`S=(E)/("Area "xx" Time")`
`because ["Energy"]=["Work"]=[M^(1)L^(2)T^(-2)]`
`[S]=[(M^(1)L^(2)T^(-2))/(L^(2)xxT^(1))]=[M^(1)L^(0)T^(-3)]`
