Question:

When light travels through glass, the refractive index µ is found to vary with the wavelength λ as µ = A + B/λ2, what is dimension of B ?

Options:

L

L2

L-1

L-2

Correct Answer:

L2

Explanation:

Dimension of wavelength = L2

Dimension of refractive index = M0L0T0

∴ Dimension of B is L2
