The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the dimensions of Planck's constant (H) and the moment of inertia (I), we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Dimensions of Planck's Constant (H)**: - Planck's constant is defined in the context of energy and frequency. The relationship is given by the equation: \[ E = H \cdot f \] where \(E\) is energy and \(f\) is frequency. - Rearranging this gives: \[ H = \frac{E}{f} \] - The dimensions of energy (E) are: \[ [E] = [M L^2 T^{-2}] \] - The dimensions of frequency (f) are: \[ [f] = [T^{-1}] \] - Thus, the dimensions of Planck's constant can be calculated as: \[ [H] = \frac{[E]}{[f]} = \frac{[M L^2 T^{-2}]}{[T^{-1}]} = [M L^2 T^{-1}] \] 2. **Understand the Dimensions of Moment of Inertia (I)**: - The moment of inertia is defined as: \[ I = m r^2 \] - The dimensions of mass (m) are: \[ [m] = [M] \] - The dimensions of radius (r) are: \[ [r] = [L] \] - Therefore, the dimensions of moment of inertia are: \[ [I] = [M] \cdot [L^2] = [M L^2] \] 3. **Calculate the Ratio of the Dimensions**: - Now we will find the ratio of the dimensions of Planck's constant to the dimensions of moment of inertia: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{[H]}{[I]} = \frac{[M L^2 T^{-1}]}{[M L^2]} \] - Simplifying this ratio: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{[M L^2 T^{-1}]}{[M L^2]} = [T^{-1}] \] 4. **Interpret the Result**: - The dimension \( [T^{-1}] \) corresponds to frequency. Therefore, the ratio of the dimensions of Planck's constant and the moment of inertia gives us the dimension of frequency. ### Final Answer: The ratio of the dimensions of Planck's constant and that of the moment of inertia is the dimension of **frequency**.
