The dimensional formula of Planck's constant is same as that of MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The dimensional formula of Planck's constant is same as that of
A. Energy
B. Force
C. Angular momentum
D. Linear momentum
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Planck's constant h = E/ν. Dimensions: [ML²T⁻²]/[T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum = mvr = [ML²T⁻¹]. Linear momentum [MLT⁻¹], force [MLT⁻²], energy [ML²T⁻²]. So angular momentum matches. This is a frequently asked SSC question.

Question #1
Photoelectric threshold frequency ν₀ = φ/h. If work function doubles, ν₀:
A. Doubles
B. Halves
C. Quadruples
D. Unchanged

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
ν₀ ∝ φ. Double work function ⇒ double threshold frequency. Higher φ requires higher photon energy for emission. Memory tip: 'ν₀ = φ/h; larger φ ⇒ higher frequency needed'. Photoelectric effect relation frequently tested in competitive quantum physics sections.

Question #2
The principle of conservation of linear momentum is a consequence of:
A. Law of conservation of energy
B. Newton's first law
C. Newton's second law
D. Newton's third law

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Conservation of linear momentum follows from Newton's third law (action-reaction pairs) and second law. For an isolated system, internal forces cancel in pairs (third law), so net force = 0, thus dp/dt = 0 (second law), meaning momentum constant. While derivable from second law with third law, the direct foundational link is third law. Memory aid: 'Momentum conservation ⇔ no external force ⇔ internal forces cancel (third law)'. This conceptual question tests mechanics fundamentals, crucial for competitive exams. Always distinguish conservation laws: momentum (from spatial symmetry), energy (from time symmetry).

Question #3
Which of the following is NOT a fundamental SI unit?
A. Kelvin
B. Coulomb
C. Candela
D. Ampere

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, but it is a derived unit (Ampere × second). The seven fundamental SI units are meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), Kelvin (temperature), Ampere (electric current), candela (luminous intensity), and mole (amount of substance). Electric current is fundamental, making Ampere fundamental, not Coulomb.
