Question:

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?

Options:

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

\(\frac{\sqrt{hG}}{c^{\frac{5}{2}}}\)

\(\sqrt{\frac{hc}{G}}\)

\(\sqrt{\frac{Gc}{h^{\frac{3}{2}}}}\)

Correct Answer:

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

Explanation:

[L] = [hacbGc]

[L] = [ML2T-1]a[LT-1]b[M-1L3T-2]c

On solving : a = 1/2 ; b = -3/2 ; c = 1/2

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