Question

Mark out the correct options.

(a) Luminous flux and radiant flux have same dimensions.

(b) Luminous flux and luminous intensity have same dimensions.

(c) Radiant flux and power have same dimensions.

(d) Relative luminosity is a dimensionless quantity.

Answer 1

Correct option (b), (c), (d)

 

a) No, luminous flux has the dimension of luminous intensity (cd/sr). The dimension of radiant flux is watt.

b) Yes, both have the dimension of luminous intensity, i.e. cd/sr.

c) Yes, both have the dimensions of power.

d) Yes, it is a ratio of same kind of quantities. So, it is dimensionless.
