dimensional constants, dimensionless quantities
Dimensional Constants:
- Dimensional constants are physical quantities that have the same dimension or dimensionless.
- Examples
of dimensional constants include the speed of light, the gravitational
constant, and the electrical conductivity of a vacuum.
- Dimensional
constants are used in the formulation and verification of physical laws
and theories, helping to ensure their accuracy and validity.
Dimensionless Quantities:
- Dimensionless quantities are physical quantities that have no units and do not depend on any particular system of units.
- Examples of dimensionless quantities include ratios, percentages, and angles.
- Dimensionless
quantities are useful in comparing and describing physical phenomena
that are independent of the particular system of units used to measure
them.
