Question:

If P represents radiation pressure, C represents speed of light and Q represents radiation energy striking a unit area per second, then the non-zero integers x, y and z such that Px Qy Cz is dimensionless are :

Options:

x = 1, y = 1, z = 1

x = 1, y = -1, z = 1

x = -1, y = 1, z = 1

x = 1, y = 1, z = -1

Correct Answer:

x = 1, y = -1, z = 1

Explanation:

M0L0T0 = PxQyCz

= [ML-1T-2]x [ML2T-2]y [LT-1]z

x + y = 0 ⇒ x = -y

-x + 2y + z = 0

-2x -2y - z = 0

x = -y
