MCQ
Even if a physical quantity depends upon three quantities, out of which two are dimensionally same, then the formula cannot be derived by the method of dimensions. This statement
- AMay be true
- BMay be false
- ✓Must be true
- DMust be false
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Must be true
c
(c)
(c)
This statement is completely correct. If a quantity depends upon two other quantities which are dimensionally same then formula's validity can be checked but it can't be derived by the method of dimensions.
