In a typical combustion engine the work done by a gas molecule is given \(W =\alpha^{2} \beta e ^{\frac{-\beta x ^{2}}{ KT }}\), where \(x\) is the displacement, \(k\) is the Boltzmann constant and \(T\) is the temperature. If \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are constants, dimensions of \(\alpha\) will be

  1. A \(\left[ MLT ^{-2}\right]\)
  2. B \(\left[ M ^{0} LT ^{0}\right]\)
  3. C \(\left[ M ^{2} LT ^{-2}\right]\)
  4. D \(\left[ MLT ^{-1}\right]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left[ M ^{0} LT ^{0}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(kT\) has dimension of energy \(\frac{\beta x ^{2}}{ kT }\) is dimensionless \([\beta]\left[ L ^{2}\right]=\left[ ML ^{2} T ^{-2}\right]\) \([\beta]=\left[ MT ^{-2}\right]\) \(\alpha^{2} \beta\) has dimensions of work…
