Consider that σs\sigma_s, kBk_B, b represent Stefan-Boltzmann constant, Boltzmann constant and Wien's displacement law constant, respectively. The dimension of σskB−1b\sigma_s k_B^{-1}b is :

Options

  1. A[L−1T−1K−4][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}^{-1}\text{K}^{-4}]
  2. B[L−1T−1K−2][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}^{-1}\text{K}^{-2}]
  3. C[L−1K−2][\text{L}^{-1}\text{K}^{-2}]
  4. D[L−1T−1K−3][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}^{-1}\text{K}^{-3}]

Correct answer

B. [L−1T−1K−2][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}^{-1}\text{K}^{-2}]

Step-by-step solution

The dimensional formula for the Stefan-Boltzmann constant σs\sigma_s is obtained from the relation E=σsAtT4E = \sigma_s A t T^4, where EE is energy, AA is area, tt is time, and TT is temperature:

[σs]=[ML2T−2][L2][T][K4]=[MT−3K−4][\sigma_s] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-2}]}{[\text{L}^2][\text{T}][\text{K}^4]} = [\text{M}\text{T}^{-3}\text{K}^{-4}]

The dimensional formula for the Boltzmann constant kBk_B is obtained from E=kBTE = k_B T:

[kB]=[ML2T−2][K]=[ML2T−2K−1][k_B] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-2}]}{[\text{K}]} = [\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-2}\text{K}^{-1}]

The dimensional formula for Wien's displacement constant bb is obtained from λmaxT=b\lambda_{\text{max}} T = b:

[b]=[L][K]=[LK][b] = [\text{L}][\text{K}] = [\text{L}\text{K}]

Now, substituting these dimensions into the given expression σskB−1b\sigma_s k_B^{-1} b:

[σskB−1b]=[σs][b][kB][\sigma_s k_B^{-1} b] = \dfrac{[\sigma_s][b]}{[k_B]}

[σskB−1b]=[MT−3K−4][LK][ML2T−2K−1][\sigma_s k_B^{-1} b] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{T}^{-3}\text{K}^{-4}][\text{L}\text{K}]}{[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-2}\text{K}^{-1}]}

[σskB−1b]=[MLT−3K−3][ML2T−2K−1][\sigma_s k_B^{-1} b] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{L}\text{T}^{-3}\text{K}^{-3}]}{[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-2}\text{K}^{-1}]}

[σskB−1b]=[L−1T−1K−2][\sigma_s k_B^{-1} b] = [\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}^{-1}\text{K}^{-2}]

Answer: [L−1T−1K−2][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}^{-1}\text{K}^{-2}]
