The correct Answer is:
To determine which pairs of physical quantities have the same dimensions, we need to analyze the dimensions of each quantity mentioned in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Physical Quantities**: We have the following pairs to analyze: - Reynolds number and Strain - Curie and Frequency of a light wave - Latent heat and Gravitational potential - Planck's constant and Torque 2. **Determine the Dimensions**: - **Reynolds Number**: This is a dimensionless quantity used in fluid mechanics, defined as the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. Its dimensions are \( M^0L^0T^0 \) (dimensionless). - **Strain**: Strain is defined as the ratio of change in length to original length. It is also dimensionless, hence its dimensions are \( M^0L^0T^0 \). Since both Reynolds number and strain are dimensionless, they have the same dimensions. 3. **Check Other Pairs**: - **Curie**: This is a unit of radioactivity and has dimensions of \( M^0L^0T^{-1} \) (since it measures decay per unit time). - **Frequency of a Light Wave**: Frequency is defined as the number of cycles per second, which has dimensions of \( M^0L^0T^{-1} \). - Since both Curie and frequency have dimensions of \( M^0L^0T^{-1} \), they also have the same dimensions. - **Latent Heat**: Latent heat is energy per unit mass, which has dimensions of \( M^1L^2T^{-2} \). - **Gravitational Potential**: Gravitational potential is defined as energy per unit mass, which also has dimensions of \( M^1L^2T^{-2} \). - Thus, latent heat and gravitational potential have the same dimensions. - **Planck's Constant**: Planck's constant has dimensions of \( M^1L^2T^{-1} \) (energy multiplied by time). - **Torque**: Torque is defined as force multiplied by distance, which has dimensions of \( M^1L^2T^{-2} \). - Therefore, Planck's constant and torque do not have the same dimensions. 4. **Conclusion**: The pairs of physical quantities that have the same dimensions are: - Reynolds number and Strain - Curie and Frequency of a light wave - Latent heat and Gravitational potential ### Final Answer: The pairs of physical quantities that have the same dimensions are: 1. Reynolds number and Strain 2. Curie and Frequency of a light wave 3. Latent heat and Gravitational potential
