Planck' constant h , speed of light c and gravitational constant G...

Planck' constant hh , speed of light cc and gravitational constant GG are used to form a unit of length LL and a unit of mass MM . Then the correct option(s) is (are)

Options

  1. AM∝cM ∝ \sqrt{c}
  2. BM∝GM ∝ \sqrt{G}
  3. CL∝hL ∝ \sqrt{h}
  4. DL∝GL ∝ \sqrt{G}

Correct answer

A. M∝cM ∝ \sqrt{c}

Step-by-step solution

[h]=\left[h\right] =\left[M{L}^{2}{T}^{- 1}\right]<br><br >\left[c\right] = [LT−1]\left[L{T}^{- 1}\right]
[G]=\left[G\right] =\left[{M}^{- 1}{L}^{3}{T}^{- 2}\right]<br>Forunitoflength<br>Let<br >For unit of length<br >LetL ∝ {h}^{x}{c}^{y}{G}^{z}<br><br >⇒Fromprincipleofhomogeneity<br>From principle of homogeneity<br >\left[LHS\right] = [RHS]\left[RHS\right]
⇒⇒\left[{M}^{0}L{T}^{0}\right] = {\left[M{L}^{2}{T}^{- 1}\right]}^{x}{\left[L{T}^{- 1}\right]}^{y}{\left[{M}^{- 1}{L}^{3}{T}^{- 2}\right]}^{z}
M0LT0=Mx−zL2x+y+3zT−x−y−2z{M}^{0}L{T}^{0} = {M}^{x - z}{L}^{2x + y + 3z}{T}^{- x - y - 2z}
Comparing we get
x−z=0x - z = 0
2x+y+3z=12x + y + 3z = 1
−x−y−2z=0- x - y - 2z = 0
Solving we get, x=12,y=−32,z=12x = \dfrac{1}{2}, y = \dfrac{- 3}{2}, z = \dfrac{1}{2}
L=hGc3L = \sqrt{\dfrac{hG}{{c}^{3}}}
For unit of mass
Let M∝hxcyGzM ∝ {h}^{x}{c}^{y}{G}^{z}
Solving in similar manner as above
We get x=12,y=12,z=−12x = \dfrac{1}{2}, y = \dfrac{1}{2}, z = \dfrac{- 1}{2}
M=hcGM = \sqrt{\dfrac{hc}{G}}
