We have to write some examples for dimensionless unitless physical quantity.
Before writing examples, we should go through the meaning of dimensionless unitless physical quantity.
- Dimensionless : It is a quantity which has no physical dimension [ like exponent of M , L , T etc.. ]
- unitless : unitless is the one in which there is no any fundamental physical quantity involved [length , mass , time etc.. ]
- All unitless quantities are dimensionless but all dimensionless can't be unitless. for example, atomic mass is dimensionless quantity but it has unit 'amu'.
some examples for dimensionless unitless physical quantity :
- Coefficient of friction : it is dimensionless as well as unitless. It is the ratio of fricitional force to the normal reaction when object is just put in the ground with inclination.
- Refractive index of a medium : It is also dimensionless as well as unitless. it is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium.
- Relative density : same here, it is also dimensionless and unitless quantity. It is the ratio of a substance to the density of water at 4°C.
- Strain : It is also dimensionless and unitless quantity. It is the ratio of change in length to the original length.
