Given: Match the quantities in LIST-I with the dimensional formulae in LIST-II.
Find: The correct option for the matching.
For the Boltzmann constant k, use the ideal gas law:
PV=NkT
Here, pressure has dimensions ML−1T−2, volume has dimensions L3, N is dimensionless, and temperature has dimension K.
So,
k=NTPV=(1)(K)(ML−1T−2)(L3)=ML2T−2K−1
Thus, A matches with III.
For the coefficient of viscosity η, use the viscous force relation:
F=6πηrv
where force has dimensions MLT−2, radius has dimensions L, and velocity has dimensions LT−1.
Hence,
η=6πrvF=(1)(L)(LT−1)MLT−2=L2T−1MLT−2=ML−1T−1
Thus, B matches with IV.
For Planck's constant h, use:
E=hf
Energy has dimensions ML2T−2 and frequency has dimensions T−1.
Therefore,
h=fE=T−1ML2T−2=ML2T−1
Thus, C matches with I.
For thermal conductivity K, use the heat-flow equation:
dtdQ=−KAdxdT
Here, dtdQ is power with dimensions ML2T−3, area has dimensions L2, and temperature gradient has dimensions KL−1.
So,
K=AdT(dQ/dt)dx=(L2)(K)(ML2T−3)(L)=L2KML3T−3=MLT−3K−1
Thus, D matches with II.
Hence the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. Therefore, the correct option is A.
