An expression for a dimensionless quantity \(P\) is given by \(P=\frac{\alpha}{\beta} \log _{e}\left(\frac{ kt }{\beta x }\right)\); where \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are constants, \(x\) is distance ; \(k\) is Boltzmann constant and \(t\) is the temperature. Then the dimensions of \(\alpha\) will be

  1. A \([ M ^{0} L ^{-1} T ^{0} ]\)
  2. B \([ ML ^{0} T ^{-2}]\)
  3. C \([ MLT ^{-2}]\)
  4. D \([ ML ^{2} T ^{-2}]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \([ MLT ^{-2}]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P=\frac{\alpha}{\beta} \log _{ e }\left(\frac{ kt }{\beta x }\right)\) \(\frac{ kt }{\beta x }=1 \Rightarrow \beta=\frac{ kt }{ x }=\frac{ ML ^{2} T ^{-2}}{ L }\) \(\left(\because E =\frac{1}{2} kt \right)\) \(As \; P\) is dimensionless…
