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:

Solution & Explanation

### 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

Q22 jee_main_2025_24_jan_morning Screw Gauge and Least Count
The least count of a screw guage is 0.01 mathrm~mm . If the pitch is increased by 75 \% and number of divisions on the circular scale is reduced by 50 \% , the new least count will be \_ times 10^-3 mathrm~mm .
Numerical Answer. Answer: 35 to 35

Solution

### Related Formula The Least Count (LC) of a screw gauge tool is defined by: textL.C. = fractextPitchtextTotal Number of Circular Divisions (N) ### Core Logic The initial least count is given as [cite: 167, 788]: textL.C.textinitial = fracPN = 0.01text mm Now, calculate the modified parameters from the text details : * New Pitch: P' = P(1 + 0.75) = 1.75P * New Divisions: N' = N(1 - 0.50) = 0.5N ### Step 1: Calculating the New Least Count Set up the updated least count expression ratio : textL.C.textnew = fracP'N' = frac1.75P0.5N = 3.5 times left(fracPN ight) Substitute the initial least count value : textL.C.textnew = 3.5 times 0.01text mm = 0.035text mm Converting into the requested scientific prefix units (10^-3text mm) : textL.C.textnew = 35 times 10^-3text mm Therefore, the requested value is 35. ### Pattern Recognition Least count scales proportionally with pitch increases, and inversely with reductions in circular divisions. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements

  • C. text(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
  • D. text(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Solution

### Related Formula * **Angular Impulse** = Change in Angular Momentum = tau cdot Delta t = [M L^2 T^-2] cdot [T] = [M L^2 T^-1] [cite: 670, 672] * **Latent Heat** (L) = fracQm = frac[M L^2 T^-2][M] = [M^0 L^2 T^-2] * **Electrical resistivity** (\rho) = fracR cdot Al = frac[M L^2 T^-3 A^-2] cdot [L^2][L] = [M L^3 T^-3 A^-2] * **Electromotive force** (V) = fracWq = frac[M L^2 T^-2][A T] = [M L^2 T^-3 A^-1] ### Core Logic By comparing the formulas derived for each physical quantity with the options given in List-II [cite: 670, 673, 674]: * (A) matches with (III) [cite: 670, 672] * (B) matches with (I) * (C) matches with (IV) * (D) matches with (II) Hence, the correct matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II). ### Pattern Recognition In match-the-column dimensional analysis questions, identifying even one or two straightforward quantities like Latent Heat (L = Q/m) often immediately eliminates three incorrect options, securing a quick correct answer. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
Q jee_main_2025_29_jan_morning Dimensional Analysis
The pair of physical quantities not having same dimensions is :
  • A. textTorque and energy
  • B. textSurface tension and impulse
  • C. textAngular momentum and Planck\'s constant
  • D. textPressure and Young\'s modulus

Solution

### Core Logic Let\'s check the dimensions of each pair : * textTorque = [textEnergy] = [ML^2T^-2] * textSurface Tension = [MT^-2] vs textImpulse = [MLT^-1] * [textAngular Momentum] = [textPlanck\'s Constant] = [ML^2T^-1] * [textPressure] = [textYoung\'s Modulus] = [ML^-1T^-2] ### Step 1: Identify Non-Matching Pair Surface tension and impulse do not share matching dimension frameworks. ### Pattern Recognition Surface tension is force per unit length ([MT^-2]), while impulse is force times time ([MLT^-1]) ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
Q jee_main_2025_29_jan_morning Dimensional Homogeneity
The expression given below shows the variation of velocity (v) with time (t), v = At^2 + fracBtC + t . The dimension of ABC is:
  • A. left[mathrmM^0 mathrm~L^2 mathrmT^-3right]
  • B. left[mathrmM^0 mathrm~L^1 mathrmT^-3right]
  • C. [mathrmM^0mathrmL^1mathrmT^-2]
  • D. left[mathrmM^0 mathrm~L^2 mathrmT^-2right]

Solution

### Related Formula [v] = [At^2] = left[fracBtC+tright] ### Core Logic By the principle of dimensional homogeneity: 1. [C] = [t] = [T] 2. [At^2] = [v] implies [A][T^2] = [LT^-1] implies [A] = [LT^-3] 3. left[fracBtTright] = [v] implies [B] = [LT^-1] ### Step 1: Calculate Dimensions of ABC [ABC] = [LT^-3] cdot [LT^-1] cdot [T] = [L^2 T^-3] ### Pattern Recognition Denominator terms matched first give C, tracking linear velocity units sets the balance for A and B ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
Q42 jee_main_2024_01_february_morning Vernier Calliper
10 divisions on the main scale of a Vernier calliper coincide with 11 divisions on the Vernier scale. If each division on the main scale is of 5 units, the least count of the instrument is:
  • A. frac12
  • B. frac1011
  • C. frac5011
  • D. frac511

Solution

### Related Formula Least Count (LC) definition: textLC = 1text MSD - 1text VSD ### Core Logic From the problem: 10text MSD = 11text VSD implies 1text VSD = frac1011text MSD Substitute into the Least Count formula: textLC = 1text MSD - frac1011text MSD = frac111text MSD ### Step 1: Calculate with Main Scale Units Given that 1text MSD = 5text units: textLC = frac111 times 5 = frac511text units ### Pattern Recognition Watch out for unconventional scale arrangements where textVSD > textMSD. The fundamental difference formula 1text MSD - 1text VSD safely determines magnitudes without needing sign corrections. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
