NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11

Which of the following statements about units and measurements is correct?

A

The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela, which is defined based on the luminous efficacy of radiation.

B

1 Å is equivalent to 1 x 10^-9 m, which is used to measure atomic scale lengths.

C

The dimension of energy is given as [M L^2 T^-2], which is derived from the equation for kinetic energy.

D

One mole of hydrogen atoms occupies a volume of 1 m^3 at standard temperature and pressure.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The candela is indeed the SI unit of luminous intensity, defined in relation to specific radiation characteristics. Option B misstates the value of an angstrom, and D incorrectly states the volume occupied by a mole of hydrogen, which is 22.4 L, not 1 m^3.
