The correct Answer is:
To determine the dimension of Planck's constant and compare it with the dimensions of charge, work, force, and angular momentum, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the formula for Planck's constant Planck's constant (H) is defined as the energy (E) divided by the frequency (ν): \[ H = \frac{E}{ν} \] ### Step 2: Write the dimensions of energy (E) Energy has the dimensions of work, which can be expressed as: \[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \] The dimension of force is given by: \[ \text{Force} = \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration} = m \cdot \frac{l}{t^2} \] Thus, the dimensions of work become: \[ \text{Work} = m \cdot \frac{l}{t^2} \cdot l = m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-2} \] So, the dimensions of energy (E) are: \[ [E] = [m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-2}] \] ### Step 3: Write the dimensions of frequency (ν) Frequency is defined as the number of cycles per unit time: \[ ν = \frac{1}{T} \] Thus, the dimensions of frequency are: \[ [ν] = [t^{-1}] \] ### Step 4: Substitute the dimensions into the formula for Planck's constant Now, substituting the dimensions of energy and frequency into the formula for Planck's constant: \[ [H] = \frac{[E]}{[ν]} = \frac{[m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-2}]}{[t^{-1}]} \] This simplifies to: \[ [H] = m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-2} \cdot t = m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Write the dimensions of the other quantities 1. **Charge (Q)**: \[ [Q] = [I] \cdot [t] = [A] \cdot [t] \] (where A is the dimension of electric current) 2. **Work**: \[ [\text{Work}] = m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-2} \] 3. **Force**: \[ [\text{Force}] = m \cdot l \cdot t^{-2} \] 4. **Angular momentum (L)**: \[ [L] = [m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-1}] \] ### Step 6: Compare the dimensions Now we compare the dimensions: - **Planck's constant**: \( [H] = m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-1} \) - **Charge**: \( [Q] = [A] \cdot [t] \) (not the same) - **Work**: \( [\text{Work}] = m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-2} \) (not the same) - **Force**: \( [\text{Force}] = m \cdot l \cdot t^{-2} \) (not the same) - **Angular momentum**: \( [L] = m \cdot l^2 \cdot t^{-1} \) (same as Planck's constant) ### Conclusion The dimensions of Planck's constant are the same as that of angular momentum. Therefore, the correct answer is: **Option D: Angular momentum**. ---
