The frequency \(v\) of the radiation emitted by an atom when an electron jumps from one orbit to another is given by \(=\mathrm{k} \delta \mathrm{E}\), where \(\mathrm{k}\) is a constant and \(\delta \mathrm{E}\) is the change in energy level due to the transition. Then dimension of \(\mathrm{k}\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\)
  2. B the same dimension of angular momentum
  3. C \(\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(v=k \delta E\) \([k]=\left[\frac{v}{\delta E}\right]=\frac{\left[T^{-1}\right]}{\left[M L^{2} T^{-2}\right]}\) \([k]=\left[M^{-} L^{-2} T^{1}\right]\)
