The time dependence of a physical quantity P is given by `P=P_(0) exp (-alpha t^(2))`, where `alpha` is a constant and t is time. The constant `alpha`

A

diemensionless

B

has dimensions `T^(-2)`

C

has dimensions of P

D

has dimensions `T^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`P-P_(0)e^(-alphat^(2)`
`alphat^(2)` must be dimensionaless
Thus dimensions of `alpha=(1)/(t^(2))=T^(2)`
