In a typical combustion engine the workdone by a gas molecule is given by
$\mathrm{W}=\alpha^{2} \beta \mathrm{e}^{\frac{-\mathrm{Bx}^{2}}{\mathrm{kT}}}$, where $x$ is the displacement, $k$ is the Boltzmann constant
and $T$ is the temperature. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants, dimensions of $\alpha$ will be :
Correct Option: 1
(1)
$\frac{\beta_{\mathrm{X}}^{2}}{\mathrm{KT}}$ is dimension less
So
$\mathrm{KT}=\beta \mathrm{x}^{2} \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{M}^{1} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}$
$\beta=\frac{\mathrm{M}^{1} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}}{\mathrm{~L}^{2}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{M}^{1} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}$
$\mathrm{M}^{1} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}=\alpha^{2} \mathrm{M}^{1} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}$
$\alpha^{2}=\mathrm{L}^{2}$
$\alpha=\mathrm{L}$
$\alpha=\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{1} \mathrm{~T}^{0}$
