planck's constant is analogous to?
Answers
Answer:
The scale of the quantum regime is set by Planck's constant, which has dimensions of energy × time (or equivalently momentum × length). It is extremely small in ordinary units17: ℏ = 1.05 × 10 − 34 Joule − seconds . This is why quantum properties only manifest themselves at very small scales or very low temperatures.
planck's constant is analogous to angular momentum as both have the same dimensions
We know that E = hv
here E us energy of the electron, h is Planck's constant, v is the frequency
so h = E/v
dimensions of E is ML^2T^-2
and dimensions of v is T^-1
So we can write it as
dimensions of h will be [ ML^2T^-2 ]/ [ T^-1 ]
dimensions of h = [ ML^2T^-1 ]
now, angular momentum= moment of inertia × angular velocity
we can write dimensions of angular momentum as [ ML^2 ]×[T^-1]
dimensions of angular momentum = [ ML^2T^-1]
Therefore, we can say that the dimensions of Planck's constant and angular momentum are the same that is [ML^2T^-1].
