The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options does not have the dimensions of velocity, we need to analyze each option one by one. The dimensions of velocity are given by \( [V] = LT^{-1} \). ### Step 1: Analyze Option (1) \( \omega k \) - **Given**: \( \omega \) is angular frequency and \( k \) is wave number. - **Dimensional Formula of \( \omega \)**: \[ [\omega] = T^{-1} \] - **Dimensional Formula of \( k \)**: \[ [k] = L^{-1} \] - **Combining**: \[ [\omega k] = [\omega][k] = T^{-1} \cdot L^{-1} = L^{-1}T^{-1} \] - **Conclusion**: This does not have the dimensions of velocity. ### Step 2: Analyze Option (2) \( v \lambda \) - **Given**: \( v \) is frequency and \( \lambda \) is wavelength. - **Dimensional Formula of \( v \)**: \[ [v] = T^{-1} \] - **Dimensional Formula of \( \lambda \)**: \[ [\lambda] = L \] - **Combining**: \[ [v \lambda] = [v][\lambda] = T^{-1} \cdot L = LT^{-1} \] - **Conclusion**: This has the dimensions of velocity. ### Step 3: Analyze Option (3) \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}} \) - **Given**: \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space and \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space. - **Dimensional Formula of \( \epsilon_0 \)**: \[ [\epsilon_0] = M^{-1}L^{-3}T^{4}A^{2} \] - **Dimensional Formula of \( \mu_0 \)**: \[ [\mu_0] = ML T^{-2} A^{-2} \] - **Combining**: \[ [\epsilon_0 \mu_0] = [\epsilon_0][\mu_0] = (M^{-1}L^{-3}T^{4}A^{2})(ML T^{-2} A^{-2}) = L^{-2}T^{2} \] - **Taking the square root**: \[ \left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}}\right] = \frac{1}{\sqrt{L^{-2}T^{2}}} = LT^{-1} \] - **Conclusion**: This has the dimensions of velocity. ### Step 4: Analyze Option (4) \( \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho}} \) - **Given**: \( P \) is pressure and \( \rho \) is density. - **Dimensional Formula of \( P \)**: \[ [P] = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \] - **Dimensional Formula of \( \rho \)**: \[ [\rho] = ML^{-3} \] - **Combining**: \[ \left[\frac{P}{\rho}\right] = \frac{ML^{-1}T^{-2}}{ML^{-3}} = L^{2}T^{-2} \] - **Taking the square root**: \[ \left[\sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho}}\right] = \sqrt{L^{2}T^{-2}} = LT^{-1} \] - **Conclusion**: This has the dimensions of velocity. ### Final Conclusion The option that does not have the dimensions of velocity is **Option (1) \( \omega k \)**. ---
