Dimensional Formula of Planck’s Constant
The dimensional formula of the Planck constant is [ℎ] = ML2T -1
The dimensional formula of the Planck constant is [ℎ] = ML2T -1
In the above formula,
- M represents mass
- L represents length
- T represents time
Derivation of Planck’s Constant Dimensional Formula
To derive the dimensional formula of Planck’s constant (ℎ), we’ll use the formula
Energy[E]= Plank’s constant (h) × Frequency(ν) ….(1)
The dimensional formula for energy (E) is given by the below formula
E = [ML2T-2]
Dimensional Formula of Frequency is given as
Frequency = 1/T = [T-1]
Now, let’s substitute the dimensional formulas of Energy and Frequency in equation (1), we get
ML2T-2 = [h] × [T-1]
Now, isolate the dimensional formula of ℎ by rearranging the equation:
h = [ML2T-2] / [T-1]
After simplifying,
[h] = ML2T-1
So, the derived dimensional formula for Planck’s constant (ℎ) is ML2T-1.
