The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine the dimensions of the expression \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \) and compare it to the dimensions of the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Constants**: - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, and its dimensions are given by: \[ [\mu_0] = \frac{[M][L]^3}{[T]^2[A]^2} \] - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, and its dimensions are given by: \[ [\epsilon_0] = \frac{[T]^4[A]^2}{[M][L]^3} \] 2. **Calculate the Product \( \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \)**: - Now, we multiply the dimensions of \( \mu_0 \) and \( \epsilon_0 \): \[ [\mu_0 \epsilon_0] = \left(\frac{[M][L]^3}{[T]^2[A]^2}\right) \left(\frac{[T]^4[A]^2}{[M][L]^3}\right) \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ [\mu_0 \epsilon_0] = \frac{[M][L]^3 \cdot [T]^4 \cdot [A]^2}{[T]^2[A]^2 \cdot [M][L]^3} = \frac{[T]^4}{[T]^2} = [T]^2 \] 3. **Take the Square Root**: - Now, we take the square root of the product: \[ \sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0} = \sqrt{[T]^2} = [T] \] 4. **Find the Dimensions of \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \)**: - Therefore, the dimensions of \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \) are: \[ \left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}}\right] = \frac{1}{[T]} = [T]^{-1} \] 5. **Comparison with Options**: - Now we compare \( [T]^{-1} \) with the dimensions of the options provided: - **Velocity**: \( [L][T]^{-1} \) - **Time**: \( [T] \) - **Capacitance**: \( [M]^{-1}[L]^{-2}[T]^{4}[A]^{2} \) - **Distance**: \( [L] \) - The dimensions of \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \) match with the dimensions of velocity, as velocity has the dimension \( [L][T]^{-1} \). ### Conclusion: The dimensions of \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \) are the same as that of **velocity**.
