Match Physical Quantities with Dimensional Formulas in Modern Physics
Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
Step-by-Step Solution
To determine the correct matching between the physical quantities in List-I and their dimensional formulas in List-II, we derive the dimensions of each quantity as follows:
-
Planck's constant (): Using the energy equation for a photon: where is energy and is frequency.
- Dimension of Energy
- Dimension of Frequency
Thus, the dimension of Planck's constant is: Therefore, A matches with III.
-
Stopping potential (): Electric potential is defined as potential energy per unit charge: where is work (energy) and is electric charge ().
- Dimension of Work
- Dimension of Charge
Thus, the dimension of stopping potential is: Therefore, B matches with IV.
-
Work function (): The work function represents the minimum energy required to liberate an electron from the metal surface. Hence, its dimension is equal to the dimension of energy: Therefore, C matches with I.
-
Threshold frequency (): Frequency is defined as the reciprocal of time period:
Thus, the dimension of threshold frequency is: Therefore, D matches with II.
Comparing our results with the given options:
This corresponds to Option A.
