Planck's constant \((h),\) speed of light in vacuum \((c)\) and Newton's gravitational constant \((G)\) are three fundamental constants. Which of the following combinations of these has the dimension of length \(?\)

  1. A \(\sqrt {\frac{{hc}}{G}} \)
  2. B \(\;\sqrt {\frac{{Gc}}{{{h^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}} \)
  3. C \(\frac{{\sqrt {hG} }}{{{c^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}\)
  4. D \(\;\frac{{\sqrt {hG} }}{{{c^{\frac{5}{2}}}}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{{\sqrt {hG} }}{{{c^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to questions
\(l \propto \,{h^p}{c^q}{G^r}\)
\(l = k\,\,{h^p}\)        ..............(\(i\))
Writting dimensions of physical quantities on both sides 
\(\left[ {{M^0}L{T^0}} \right] = {\left[ {M{L^2}{T^{ - 1}}} \right]^p}{\left[ {L{T^{ - 1}}} \right]^q}{\left[ {{M^{ - 1}}{L^3}{T^{ - 2}}} \right]^r}\)
Applying the principle of homogeneity of dimensions we get \(P - r = 0\)         .........(\(ii\))
