  2. B \(\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{1} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) \(\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
c & =\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}} \\
c^{2} & =\frac{1}{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}} \\
(\text { velocity })^{2} & =\frac{1}{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}} \\
\frac{1}{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}} & =\left(\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{1} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\right)^{2} \\
& =\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}
\end{aligned}
