MCQ
The dimensional formula of wave number is
  • A
    ${M^0}{L^0}{T^{ - 1}}$
  • ${M^0}{L^{ - 1}}{T^0}$
  • C
    ${M^{ - 1}}{L^{ - 1}}{T^0}$
  • D
    ${M^0}{L^0}{T^0}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
${M^0}{L^{ - 1}}{T^0}$
b
(b) Wave number = $\frac{1}{\lambda }$ 

$⇒$  dimension is $[{M^0}{L^{ - 1}}{T^0}]$
