The correct Answer is:
To determine the pairs of physical quantities that have the same dimension, we will analyze each pair given in the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Reynolds Number and Coefficient of Friction - **Reynolds Number**: It is a dimensionless quantity, which means it has no dimensions. - **Coefficient of Friction**: It is also dimensionless, calculated as the ratio of frictional force to normal force, both of which have the dimension of force (MLT^-2). Thus, the coefficient of friction is also dimensionless. **Conclusion**: Both Reynolds number and coefficient of friction are dimensionless. ### Step 2: Analyze Latent Heat and Gravitational Potential - **Latent Heat (L)**: It is defined as the amount of heat (Q) required to change the state of a unit mass (m) without changing its temperature. The formula is Q = m * L. - Dimensions of Q (energy) = ML²T⁻² - Dimensions of m (mass) = M - Therefore, dimensions of latent heat (L) = Q/m = (ML²T⁻²)/M = L²T⁻². - **Gravitational Potential (U)**: It is defined as the potential energy (U) per unit mass (m). - Dimensions of U (potential energy) = ML²T⁻² - Therefore, dimensions of gravitational potential = U/m = (ML²T⁻²)/M = L²T⁻². **Conclusion**: Both latent heat and gravitational potential have the same dimensions (L²T⁻²). ### Step 3: Analyze Curie and Frequency of Light - **Curie (Ci)**: It is a unit of radioactivity and is defined as the number of disintegrations per second. - Dimensions of Curie = 1/time = T⁻¹. - **Frequency of Light**: It is defined as the reciprocal of the time period (T). - Dimensions of frequency = 1/time = T⁻¹. **Conclusion**: Both Curie and frequency of light have the same dimensions (T⁻¹). ### Step 4: Analyze Planck's Constant and Torque - **Planck's Constant (h)**: It relates energy (E) to frequency (ν). The formula is E = hν. - Dimensions of E (energy) = ML²T⁻². - Dimensions of frequency (ν) = T⁻¹. - Therefore, dimensions of Planck's constant = E/ν = (ML²T⁻²)/(T⁻¹) = ML²T⁻¹. - **Torque (τ)**: It is defined as the product of force (F) and the distance (R) from the pivot point. - Dimensions of force (F) = MLT⁻². - Dimensions of distance (R) = L. - Therefore, dimensions of torque = R * F = L * (MLT⁻²) = ML²T⁻². **Conclusion**: Planck's constant (ML²T⁻¹) and torque (ML²T⁻²) have different dimensions. ### Final Conclusion The pairs of physical quantities that have the same dimensions are: 1. Reynolds Number and Coefficient of Friction (Dimensionless) 2. Latent Heat and Gravitational Potential (L²T⁻²) 3. Curie and Frequency of Light (T⁻¹) ### Answer The correct options are 1, 2, and 3. ---
