Hi:) A question that I don't understand, and my feeble attempt to answer it. Can anybody give any heads up on this one?
If a physical quantity is dimensionless, it has no units attatched to it. Determine if the following constant is dimensionless and show your reasoning"
[itex]\alpha[/itex]= e^2/[itex]\hbar[/itex]c4(Pi)[itex]\epsilon[/itex][itex]_{}[/itex][itex]_{0}[/itex]
do all these greek scripted letters just stand for constants, and is it dimensionless because there are no S.I units in the equation? I am assuming constants like 4 and Pi are not units.
im so confused!:(
