The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of identifying which pairs of quantities have the same dimensions, we will analyze each pair step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Pair 1: Torque and Work** - **Torque (τ)**: Torque is defined as the product of the radius (r) and force (F). The formula is: \[ τ = r \times F \] - Dimension of radius (r) = \(L\) - Dimension of force (F) = \(MLT^{-2}\) - Therefore, the dimension of torque: \[ [τ] = [r] \cdot [F] = L \cdot (MLT^{-2}) = ML^2T^{-2} \] - **Work (W)**: Work is defined as the dot product of force and displacement (d). The formula is: \[ W = F \cdot d \] - Dimension of displacement (d) = \(L\) - Therefore, the dimension of work: \[ [W] = [F] \cdot [d] = (MLT^{-2}) \cdot L = ML^2T^{-2} \] - **Conclusion**: Both torque and work have the same dimension \(ML^2T^{-2}\). 2. **Pair 2: Angular Momentum and Work** - **Angular Momentum (L)**: Angular momentum is defined as the product of radius and linear momentum (p). The formula is: \[ L = r \times p \] - Dimension of linear momentum (p) = \(MLT^{-1}\) - Therefore, the dimension of angular momentum: \[ [L] = [r] \cdot [p] = L \cdot (MLT^{-1}) = ML^2T^{-1} \] - **Work (W)**: As calculated above, the dimension of work is \(ML^2T^{-2}\). - **Conclusion**: Angular momentum and work have different dimensions \(ML^2T^{-1}\) and \(ML^2T^{-2}\) respectively. 3. **Pair 3: Energy and Young's Modulus** - **Energy (E)**: Energy can be expressed as: \[ E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \] - Dimension of mass (m) = \(M\) - Dimension of velocity (v) = \(LT^{-1}\) - Therefore, the dimension of energy: \[ [E] = M \cdot (LT^{-1})^2 = ML^2T^{-2} \] - **Young's Modulus (Y)**: Young's modulus is defined as stress divided by strain: \[ Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L} \] - Dimension of stress = \(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\) - Therefore, the dimension of Young's modulus: \[ [Y] = \frac{ML^{-1}T^{-2}}{1} = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \] - **Conclusion**: Energy and Young's modulus have different dimensions \(ML^2T^{-2}\) and \(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\) respectively. 4. **Pair 4: Light Year and Wavelength** - **Light Year**: A light year is the distance light travels in one year. Therefore, its dimension is: \[ [\text{Light Year}] = L \] - **Wavelength (λ)**: Wavelength is defined as the distance between successive crests of a wave. Therefore, its dimension is also: \[ [\text{Wavelength}] = L \] - **Conclusion**: Both light year and wavelength have the same dimension \(L\). ### Final Conclusion: The pairs that have the same dimensions are: - Pair 1: Torque and Work - Pair 4: Light Year and Wavelength ### Answer: The correct pairs are 1 and 4. ---
