If two quantities have same dimensions, ...

If two quantities have same dimensions, do they represent same physical content?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. Angular velocity and frequency both have same dimension i.e. `[T^(-1)]` . But they respectively have units rad `s^(-1)` and `s^(-1)`.
