The correct Answer is:
To determine which two of the five physical parameters have the same dimension, we will analyze each parameter one by one. 1. **Energy Density (U)**: - Energy density is defined as energy per unit volume. - The dimension of energy (E) is given by \( [E] = ML^2T^{-2} \). - Therefore, the dimension of energy density is: \[ [U] = \frac{[E]}{[L^3]} = \frac{ML^2T^{-2}}{L^3} = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \] 2. **Refractive Index (n)**: - The refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. - It is a dimensionless quantity, so: \[ [n] = 1 \] 3. **Dielectric Constant (ε)**: - The dielectric constant is also defined as the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor with a dielectric to the capacitance without it. - Like the refractive index, it is dimensionless, so: \[ [ε] = 1 \] 4. **Young's Modulus (Y)**: - Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. - The dimension of stress (force per unit area) is: \[ [\text{Stress}] = \frac{[F]}{[A]} = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2} = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \] - Strain is dimensionless, so: \[ [Y] = \frac{[\text{Stress}]}{[\text{Strain}]} = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \] 5. **Magnetic Field (B)**: - The magnetic field can be defined in terms of force per unit charge per unit velocity. - The dimension of the magnetic field is: \[ [B] = \frac{[F]}{[q][v]} = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{IT} = MA^{-1}T^{-2} \] Now, we summarize the dimensions: - Energy Density: \( ML^{-1}T^{-2} \) - Refractive Index: \( 1 \) (dimensionless) - Dielectric Constant: \( 1 \) (dimensionless) - Young's Modulus: \( ML^{-1}T^{-2} \) - Magnetic Field: \( MA^{-1}T^{-2} \) From the above analysis, we can see that: - Energy Density and Young's Modulus both have the dimension \( ML^{-1}T^{-2} \). Thus, the two parameters with the same dimension are: **Energy Density (1)** and **Young's Modulus (4)**. ### Final Answer: The two parameters with the same dimension are (1) Energy Density and (4) Young's Modulus. ---

Light guidance in an optical fibre can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index n_1 surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n_2 .
