    The velocity of water waves may depend on their wave length n, the density of water p and the acceleration due to gravity g. The method of dimensions gives the relation between these quantities as:

    A)  \[{{V}^{2}}\propto \lambda {{q}^{-1}}{{p}^{-1}}\] 

    B)  \[{{V}^{2}}\propto g\lambda \]

    C)  \[{{V}^{2}}\propto \lambda gp\]                

    D)  \[{{V}^{2}}\propto {{g}^{-1}}{{\lambda }^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[[L{{T}^{-1}}]={{[L]}^{X}}\,{{[M{{L}^{-3}}]}^{Y}}\,{{[L{{T}^{-2}}]}^{Z}}\] \[=[{{L}^{(X-3Y)+Z}}{{M}^{Y}}{{T}^{-32}}]\] Solving, we get, \[X=\frac{1}{2},\] \[Y=0\] and \[Z=\frac{1}{2}\] \[V\propto \sqrt{g\lambda }\]     \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{V}^{2}}=g\lambda \]
