The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the dimensions of Planck's constant (h) and compare it with the dimensions of the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship**: We start with the equation for the energy of a photon: \[ E = h \nu \] where \(E\) is energy, \(h\) is Planck's constant, and \(\nu\) is the frequency. 2. **Express dimensions**: We will express the dimensions of both sides of the equation. The dimensions of energy \(E\) can be expressed as: \[ [E] = [\text{Force}] \times [\text{Displacement}] = [M L T^{-2}] \times [L] = [M L^2 T^{-2}] \] where \(M\) is mass, \(L\) is length, and \(T\) is time. 3. **Frequency dimensions**: The frequency \(\nu\) is the reciprocal of time, so its dimensions are: \[ [\nu] = [T^{-1}] \] 4. **Relate dimensions**: Now, substituting the dimensions into the equation \(E = h \nu\): \[ [E] = [h] \times [\nu] \] This gives us: \[ [M L^2 T^{-2}] = [h] \times [T^{-1}] \] 5. **Solve for dimensions of Planck's constant**: Rearranging the equation to solve for the dimensions of \(h\): \[ [h] = \frac{[M L^2 T^{-2}]}{[T^{-1}]} = [M L^2 T^{-1}] \] 6. **Compare with options**: Now we need to find the dimensions of the given options: - **Option 1: Linear impulse**: The dimensional formula of linear impulse is the same as that of linear momentum: \[ [\text{Linear Impulse}] = [M L T^{-1}] \] - **Option 2: Angular impulse**: The dimensional formula of angular impulse is the same as that of angular momentum: \[ [\text{Angular Impulse}] = [M L^2 T^{-1}] \] - **Option 3: Linear momentum**: The dimensional formula of linear momentum is: \[ [\text{Linear Momentum}] = [M L T^{-1}] \] - **Option 4: Angular momentum**: The dimensional formula of angular momentum is: \[ [\text{Angular Momentum}] = [M L^2 T^{-1}] \] 7. **Identify matching dimensions**: Now we compare the dimensions: - The dimensions of Planck's constant \( [M L^2 T^{-1}] \) match with: - Angular impulse (Option 2) - Angular momentum (Option 4) ### Conclusion: The dimensions of Planck's constant \(h\) are the same as those of angular impulse and angular momentum. Therefore, the correct options are **Option 2 and Option 4**.
