The radiation emitted per unit time by unit area of a black body at temperature T is `sigmaT^(4)` wehre `sigma` is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. The constant `sigma` can also be expressed in terms of Boltmann's constant (k), Planck's constant (h) and speed of light (3) as `sigma=Ak^(alpha)h^(beta)c^(gamma)` where A,`alpha,beta` and `gamma` are dimensionless constants. The set `(alpha,beta,gamma)` is givne by

A

The electric field between the plates points vertically upward.

B

The pellet is negatively charged.

C

The magnitude of charge on the plates is increased, the pellet begins to move upward.

D

If the magnitude of charge on the plates is increased, the pellet begins to move upward.

The correct Answer is:
To find the values of \( \alpha \), \( \beta \), and \( \gamma \) in the expression for the Stefan-Boltzmann constant \( \sigma \), we start by equating the dimensions on both sides of the equation: \[ \sigma = A k^{\alpha} h^{\beta} c^{\gamma} \] ### Step 1: Determine the dimensions of each constant 1. **Stefan-Boltzmann constant \( \sigma \)**: - The dimension of \( \sigma \) is given as \( [\sigma] = ML^0T^{-3} \Theta^{-4} \). 2. **Boltzmann constant \( k \)**: - The dimension of \( k \) is \( [k] = ML^2T^{-2}\Theta^{-1} \). 3. **Planck's constant \( h \)**: - The dimension of \( h \) is \( [h] = ML^2T^{-1} \). 4. **Speed of light \( c \)**: - The dimension of \( c \) is \( [c] = LT^{-1} \). ### Step 2: Write the dimensions of the right-hand side Now, substituting the dimensions into the right-hand side: \[ [A k^{\alpha} h^{\beta} c^{\gamma}] = [A] \cdot [k]^{\alpha} \cdot [h]^{\beta} \cdot [c]^{\gamma} \] Assuming \( A \) is dimensionless, we have: \[ = (ML^2T^{-2}\Theta^{-1})^{\alpha} \cdot (ML^2T^{-1})^{\beta} \cdot (LT^{-1})^{\gamma} \] ### Step 3: Expand the dimensions Expanding this gives: \[ = M^{\alpha + \beta} L^{2\alpha + 2\beta + \gamma} T^{-2\alpha - \beta - \gamma} \Theta^{-\alpha} \] ### Step 4: Set up equations by equating dimensions Now we equate the dimensions from both sides: 1. For mass \( M \): \[ \alpha + \beta = 1 \quad \text{(1)} \] 2. For length \( L \): \[ 2\alpha + 2\beta + \gamma = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] 3. For time \( T \): \[ -2\alpha - \beta - \gamma = -3 \quad \text{(3)} \] 4. For temperature \( \Theta \): \[ -\alpha = -4 \quad \text{(4)} \] ### Step 5: Solve the equations From equation (4): \[ \alpha = 4 \] Substituting \( \alpha = 4 \) into equation (1): \[ 4 + \beta = 1 \implies \beta = 1 - 4 = -3 \] Substituting \( \alpha = 4 \) and \( \beta = -3 \) into equation (2): \[ 2(4) + 2(-3) + \gamma = 0 \implies 8 - 6 + \gamma = 0 \implies \gamma = -2 \] ### Final Result Thus, the values of the constants are: \[ \alpha = 4, \quad \beta = -3, \quad \gamma = -2 \]

To find the values of \( \alpha \), \( \beta \), and \( \gamma \) in the expression for the Stefan-Boltzmann constant \( \sigma \), we start by equating the dimensions on both sides of the equation: \[ \sigma = A k^{\alpha} h^{\beta} c^{\gamma} \] ### Step 1: Determine the dimensions of each constant ...
