Given below are two statements: Statement (I): The dimensions of Planck's constant and angular momentum are same. Statement (II): In Bohr's model electron revolve around the nucleus only in those orbits for which angular momentum is integral multiple of Planck's constant. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

### Related Formula E = hf implies [h] = frac[E][f] = fractextMtextL^2textT^-2textT^-1 = textMtextL^2textT^-1 L = mvr implies [L] = textM cdot (textLtextT^-1) cdot textL = textMtextL^2textT^-1 L = fracnh2pi ### Core Logic Statement I: Comparing the dimensional formula of Planck's constant (h) and angular momentum (L), both are identical [textMtextL^2textT^-1]. Hence, Statement I is correct. Statement II: According to Bohr's second postulate, angular momentum is an integral multiple of frach2pi, not an integral multiple of h. Hence, Statement II is incorrect. ### Pattern Recognition Watch out for exact definitions in standard postulates. Bohr's model requires angular momentum to be quantized in units of hbar = frach2pi, making statement II a classic trap. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements Class 12 Physics: Atoms

Q25 jee_main_2025_03_april_evening Error Analysis
A physical quantity C is related to four other quantities p, q, r and s as follows C = fracpq^2r^3sqrts The percentage errors in the measurement of p, q, r and s are 1\% , 2\% , 3\% and 2\% respectively. The percentage error in the measurement of C will be ________ \%.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 15 to 15

Solution

### Related Formula For a physical quantity defined by algebraic powers C = fracp^a q^br^c s^d, the maximum fractional error is calculated by summing absolute scaled fractional errors: fracDelta CC = a fracDelta pp + b fracDelta qq + c fracDelta rr + d fracDelta ss Expressed as percentages: \% text error in C = a(\% text error in p) + b(\% text error in q) + c(\% text error in r) + d(\% text error in s) ### Core Logic Given expression: C = p^1 q^2 r^-3 s^-1/2 Max fractional error equation: fracDelta CC = 1 left(fracDelta ppright) + 2 left(fracDelta qqright) + 3 left(fracDelta rrright) + frac12 left(fracDelta ssright) ### Step 1: Calculate the total percentage error Substitute the individual percentage errors: - Error in p = 1\% - Error in q = 2\% - Error in r = 3\% - Error in s = 2\% \% text error in C = 1(1\%) + 2(2\%) + 3(3\%) + frac12(2\%) \% text error in C = 1\% + 4\% + 9\% + 1\% = 15\% The total percentage error in C is 15\%. ### Pattern Recognition In error propagation, individual errors always combine constructively to produce the maximum possible uncertainty limit. Hence, negative powers (like division by r^3 or s^1/2) are integrated using positive coefficients during maximum absolute error summation. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements

A quantity Q is formulated as X^-2Y^frac32Z^-frac25. X, Y and Z are independent parameters which have fractional errors of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5, respectively in measurement. The maximum fractional error of Q is:
  • A. 0.1
  • B. 0.8
  • C. 0.7
  • D. 0.6

Solution

### Related Formula For a quantity Q = X^a Y^b Z^c, the maximum fractional error is: fracDelta QQ = |a| fracDelta XX + |b| fracDelta YY + |c| fracDelta ZZ where, fracDelta XX, fracDelta YY, fracDelta ZZ are fractional errors of individual variables ### Core Logic Given formula: Q = X^-2 Y^3/2 Z^-2/5. Identify the absolute exponents: - |a| = |-2| = 2 - |b| = left|frac32right| = frac32 - |c| = left|-frac25right| = frac25 Now write the error expression: fracDelta QQ = 2 fracDelta XX + frac32 fracDelta YY + frac25 fracDelta ZZ Substitute the given values: - fracDelta XX = 0.1 - fracDelta YY = 0.2 - fracDelta ZZ = 0.5 ### Step 1: Compute Maximum Fractional Error Calculate term by term: fracDelta QQ = 2 (0.1) + frac32 (0.2) + frac25 (0.5) fracDelta QQ = 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.2 = 0.7 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Exponential algebraic relation for errors. Trap: Exponents are negative, but maximum error is cumulative.
