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

A

`[ML^(2)T^(-3)]`

B

`[M^(2)L^(0)T^(-1)]`

C

`[MT^(-3)]`

D

`[MLT^(-2)]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(c) Unit `=("energy")/(cm^(2)"minute")=([ML^(2)T^(-2)])/([L^(2)T])`
`:.` The dimensions of solar constant `=[MLT^(-3)]`
