    Dimensions of Plancks constant is:

    A)  \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ M}{{\text{L}}^{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]            

    B)         \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ ML}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]                       

    C)         \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ M}{{\text{L}}^{-1}}\text{T }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]                    

    D)                         \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ M}{{\text{L}}^{-1}}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Place the dimensions for quantities involved in the expression comprising Plancks constant. Energy of photon \[E=h\times v\] where \[h\] is Plancks constant and \[v\]the frequency. \[\Rightarrow \]               \[h=\frac{E}{v}\] \[\therefore \]  \[[h]=\frac{[E]}{[v]}=\frac{[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]}{[{{T}^{-1}}]}=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}]\] Alternative: Unit of Plancks constant = joule \[\times \] second    So, dimensions of Plancks constant          \[=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}][T]\] \[=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]
