The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

To match List I with List II, we need to determine the dimensional formulae for each physical quantity. Let's analyze each one:

  1. Young's Modulus (Y):
    • Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. Stress has the dimensions of force per unit area, and strain is dimensionless.
    • Force has the dimensions \([M L T^{-2}]\) and area has \([L^2]\) which gives stress the dimensions \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\).
    • Thus, Young's Modulus has the dimensional formula \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\).
  2. Co-efficient of Viscosity (η):
    • Viscosity relates to the internal friction of a fluid and is defined as the tangential force per unit area per unit velocity gradient.
    • The dimensions for viscosity are derived from force per unit area per velocity gradient: \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\cdot T/L = [M L^{-1} T^{-1}]\).
  3. Planck's Constant (h):
    • Planck's constant is the proportionality constant between the energy of a photon and its frequency: \(E = h \cdot \nu\).
    • Energy has dimensions \([M L^{2} T^{-2}]\) and frequency is \([T^{-1}]\), giving Planck's constant dimensions \([M L^{2} T^{-1}]\).
  4. Work Function (ϕ):
    • The work function is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from a solid to a point in the vacuum immediately outside the solid surface.
    • It is essentially energy, thus having the same dimensions as energy: \([M L^{2} T^{-2}]\).

Based on these determinations, we match them to List II:

  • A. Young's Modulus (Y) with III: \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\)
  • B. Coefficient of Viscosity (η) with I: \([M L^{-1} T^{-1}]\)
  • C. Planck's Constant (h) with II: \([M L^{2} T^{-1}]\)
  • D. Work Function (ϕ) with IV: \([M L^{2} T^{-2}]\)

Therefore, the correct match is: A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
