Question
The Bohr radius is given by `a_0 = (∈_0h^2)/{pime^2}`. Verify that the RHS has dimensions of length.

Solution
The dimensions of ε0 can be derived from the formula given below:
`a = (epsilon_0h^2)/(pime^2) = (A^2T^0(ML^2 T^-1)^2)/(L^2ML^-2 (AT)^2)`
`=(M^2L^2T^-2)/(M^2L^3T^-2) = L`
Clearly, a0 has the dimensions of length.
