  • 1 and 4

  • 1 and 5

Solution

C.

1 and 4

1 right parenthesis space Energy space equals space Energy over Volume
equals space fraction numerator left square bracket ML squared straight T to the power of negative 2 end exponent right square bracket over denominator left square bracket straight L cubed right square bracket end fraction space equals space left square bracket ML to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight T to the power of negative 2 end exponent right square bracket

2 right parenthesis space Refractive space index space hole space no space dimesions.
3 right parenthesis space Dielectric space constant space has space no space dimensions.
4 right parenthesis space Young apostrophe straight s space modulus comma
straight Y space equals space fraction numerator Fl over denominator straight A increment straight l end fraction space equals space fraction numerator left square bracket MLT to the power of negative 2 end exponent right square bracket left square bracket straight L right square bracket over denominator left square bracket straight L squared right square bracket left square bracket straight L right square bracket end fraction space equals space left square bracket ML to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight T to the power of negative 2 end exponent right square bracket
5 right parenthesis space Magnetic space field comma
straight B space equals space fraction numerator straight F over denominator straight I l end fraction space equals space fraction numerator left square bracket MLT to the power of negative 2 end exponent right square bracket over denominator left square bracket straight A right square bracket left square bracket straight L right square bracket end fraction space equals space left square bracket MT to the power of negative 2 end exponent straight A to the power of negative 1 end exponent right square bracket
