Step-by-Step Solution
To find the correct match between the physical constants in List - I and their corresponding dimensional formulas in List - II, we determine the dimensions of each constant using their fundamental physical equations:
-
Boltzmann Constant (): The thermal energy is related to absolute temperature by the formula:
Substituting the dimensional formulas for Energy () and Temperature ():
Thus, A matches with III.
-
Stefan's Constant (): According to Stefan-Boltzmann law, the total radiant energy emitted per unit area per unit time (Emissive power) is proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature:
Substituting the dimensions of Energy (), Area (), Time (), and Temperature ():
Thus, B matches with IV.
-
Planck's Constant (): The energy of a photon is related to its frequency by:
Substituting the dimensions of Energy () and Frequency ():
Thus, C matches with II.
-
Gravitational Constant (): According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force between two masses and separated by a distance is:
Substituting the dimensions of Force (), Distance (), and Mass ():
Thus, D matches with I.
Comparing with the given choices:
Hence, the correct option is C.
