HELLO THERE!
The famous equation relating Mass and Energy is dimensionally correct.
Proof:
Dimensions of Left Hand side (Energy) = [M L² T⁻²]
Dimensions of Mass = [M]
Dimensions of Speed of light = [L T⁻¹], and c² = [L² T⁻²]
Hence, Dimensions of Right Hand Side = [M] x [L² T⁻²] = [M L² T⁻²],
which is equal to the dimensions of Left Hand Side, and hence, satisfies the Principle of Homogeneity. So, it is dimensionally correct.
