AIIMS 2018 Physics Dimensional Formula MCQ Question
The velocity of water waves () may depend on their wavelength , the density of water and the acceleration due to gravity, . The method of dimensions gives the relation between these quantities is
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The expression derived from the dimensional analysis shows that , indicating that velocity squared is directly proportional to the product of wavelength and gravitational acceleration . Option B, , is incorrect because it suggests an additional power of that does not align with the derived relationship. Other options also misrepresent the proportionality by either altering the powers of or incorrectly, failing to satisfy the dimensional consistency established in the analysis. Thus, the correct relationship emphasizes the direct proportionality between , , and as .
