प्रश्न
A physical quantity is measured and the result is expressed as nu where u is the unit used and n is the numerical value. If the result is expressed in various units then
पर्याय
n ∝ size of u
n ∝ u2
n ∝ `sqrt (u)`
n ∝ `1/u`
उत्तर
n ∝ `1/u`
The larger the unit used to express the physical quantity, the lesser will be the numerical value.

“It is more important to have beauty in the equations of physics than to have them agree with experiments”. The great British physicist P. A. M. Dirac held this view. Criticize this statement. Look out for some equations and results in this book which strike you as beautiful.
