An expression of energy density is given by u=αβsin⁡(\alphaxkt)u = \dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\sin \left(\dfrac{\alphax}{kt}\right), where α,β\alpha, \beta are constants, xx is displacement, kk is Boltzmann constant and tt is the temperature. The dimensions of β\beta will be

Options

  1. A[ML2T−2θ−1]\left[{ML}^{2}{T}^{- 2}{\theta}^{- 1}\right]
  2. B[M0L2T−2]\left[{M}^{0}{L}^{2}{T}^{- 2}\right]
  3. C[M0L0T0]\left[{M}^{0}{L}^{0}{T}^{0}\right]
  4. D[M0L2T0]\left[{M}^{0}{L}^{2}{T}^{0}\right]

Correct answer

D. [M0L2T0]\left[{M}^{0}{L}^{2}{T}^{0}\right]

Step-by-step solution

Given that energy density U=αβsin\alphaxktU = \dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}sin\dfrac{\alphax}{kt}

As \alphaxkt\dfrac{\alphax}{kt} should be dimensionless, the dimensions of \alphaxandkt\alphax and kt should be same.

⇒[α][x]=[k][t]⇒[α]=[k][t][x]⇒ \left[\alpha\right]\left[x\right] = \left[k\right]\left[t\right] ⇒ \left[\alpha\right] = \dfrac{\left[k\right]\left[t\right]}{\left[x\right]}

Now,

\left[U\right] = \dfrac{\left[\alpha\right]}{\left[\beta\right]}</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left[\beta\right] = \dfrac{\left[\alpha\right]}{\left[U\right]} = \dfrac{\left[k\right]\left[t\right]}{\left[x\right]\left[\dfrac{E}{V}\right]} = \dfrac{\left[\dfrac{E}{t}\right]\left[t\right]}{\left[x\right]\left[\dfrac{E}{V}\right]}</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left[\beta\right] = \dfrac{\left[{L}^{3}\right]}{\left[L\right]} = \left[{M}^{0}{L}^{2}{T}^{0}\right]
