QJEEAdv15Ph0a78: JEE Advanced 2015 Physics - Class 11 JEEAdv15Ph0a78 Solution: Planck's constant h, speed of light c and gravitational…

Planck's constant h, speed of light c and gravitational constant G are used to form a unit of length L and a unit of mass M. Then the correct option(s) is(are)

Multiple Choice Options

  • A L∝GL \propto \sqrt G
  • B M∝cM \propto \sqrt c
  • C M∝GM \propto \sqrt G
  • D L∝hL \propto \sqrt h

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The dimensions of Planck's constant is h=[M1L3T−2]h = [{M^1}{L^3}{T^{ - 2}}]

Speed of light is c=[L1T−1]c = [{L^1}{T^{ - 1}}]

Gravitational constant is G=[M−1L3T−2]G = [{M^{ - 1}}{L^3}{T^{ - 2}}]

Let L∝hxcyGzL \propto {h^x}{c^y}{G^z} .

[L]=[M1L2T−1]x[L1T−1]y[M−1L3T−2]z[L] = {[{M^1}{L^2}{T^{ - 1}}]^x}{[{L^1}{T^{ - 1}}]^y}{[{M^{ - 1}}{L^3}{T^{ - 2}}]^z}

Comparing, we get

x−z=02x+y+3z=1−x−y−2z=0}

Solving, we get

x=zx = z

y+5x=1y + 5x = 1

−y−3x=0- y - 3x = 0

or, 2x=12x = 1

x=12=zx = {1 \over 2} = z

y=−32y = - {3 \over 2}

Therefore,

L∝h1/2C−3/2G1/2L \propto {h^{1/2}}{C^{ - 3/2}}{G^{1/2}}

L∝hL \propto \sqrt h

L∝GL \propto \sqrt G

Let M∝haCbGcM \propto {h^a}{C^b}{G^c}

[M]=[M1L2T−1]a[L1T−1]b[M−1L3T−2]c[M] = {[{M^1}{L^2}{T^{ - 1}}]^a}{[{L^1}{T^{ - 1}}]^b}{[{M^{ - 1}}{L^3}{T^{ - 2}}]^c}

Comparing, we get a−c=1a - c = 1 .

2a+b+3c=0−a−b−2c=0}a+c=0

Therefore,

2a=12a = 1

a=12a = {1 \over 2}

c=−12c = - {1 \over 2}

b=12b = {1 \over 2}

Therefore,

M∝h1/2c1/2G−1/2M \propto {h^{1/2}}{c^{1/2}}{G^{ - 1/2}}

M∝cM \propto \sqrt c
