The velocity of the waves on the surface...

The velocity of the waves on the surface of water is proptional to `lambda^(a) rho^(beta) g^(gamma)` where `lambda` = waver length, `rho` = density and `g` =m acceleration due to gravity. Which of the following relation is correct?

A

`alpha = beta ne gamma`

B

`beta = gamma ne alpha`

C

`gamma = alpha ne beta`

D

`alpha ne beta ne gamma`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`v prop lambda^(alpha) rho^(beta) g^(gamma) , LT^(-1) = L^(alpha) M^(beta) L^(-3 beta) L^(gamma) T^(-2 gamma)`
Comparing the powers on both sides, we get `alpha,beta` and `gamma`
