Given below are two statements:

Statement (I) : Planck's constant and angular momentum have the same dimensions.

Statement (II) : Linear momentum and moment of force have the same dimensions.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

The dimensions of the required quantities can be written as

E=hνh=Eν[h]=ML2T-2T-1=ML2T-1

[L]=mvr=MLT-1L=ML2 T-1

[p]=mv=MLT-1=ML1 T-1

[τ]=Fr=MLT-2L=ML2 T-2

where, h  is Planck's constant, L is angular momentum, p is linear momentum and τ is moment of force.

From the above analysis, it can be concluded that Statement I is true, but statement II is false.
