The Entropy (S) of a black hole can be written as \(S=\beta k_B A\), where \(k_B\) is the Boltzmann constant and \(A\) is the area of the black hole. Then \(\beta\) has dimension of

  1. A \(\mathrm{L}^2\)
  2. B \(\quad \mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{L}^{-2}\)
  4. D dimensionless
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{L}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{S}= \beta \mathrm{K}_\beta \mathrm{A} \\ \frac{\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]}{[\theta]}=[\beta]\left[\frac{\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}}{\theta}\right]\left[\mathrm{L}^2\right] \quad[\beta]=\left[\mathrm{L}^{-2}\right] \end{array}\)
