A.
Refractive index (speed of light in vacuum / speed in medium)
B.
Electric field intensity
C.
Magnetic flux
D.
Power
ANSWER :
A. Refractive index (speed of light in vacuum / speed in medium)
8.
Which of the following equations for kinetic energy K is RULED OUT by dimensional analysis? (K has dimensions [ML²T⁻²])
A.
K = (3/16)mv²
B.
K = \( \frac{1}{2} \)mv²
C.
K = m²v³
D.
Both A and B are ruled out
ANSWER :
C. K = m²v³
9.
K = \( \frac{1}{2} \)mv² + ma is ruled out by dimensional analysis because:
A.
\( \frac{1}{2} \) is not dimensionless
B.
[\( \frac{1}{2} \)mv²] = [ML²T⁻²] and [ma] = [MLT⁻²] — two terms with DIFFERENT dimensions are added
C.
v² has wrong dimensions for energy
D.
m appears twice in the expression
ANSWER :
B. [\( \frac{1}{2} \)mv²] = [ML²T⁻²] and [ma] = [MLT⁻²] — two terms with DIFFERENT dimensions are added
10.
Which of the following kinematic equations is dimensionally INCORRECT?
A.
v = u + at
B.
s = ut + \( \frac{1}{2} \)at²
C.
v² = u + 2as
D.
v² = u² + 2as
ANSWER :
C. v² = u + 2as
11.
