Homework Statement
There is not really a problem, just a question which i am about to ask. The known data is
[tex]\alpha[/tex] the fine structure constant
[tex]\hbar[/tex] Plancks constant
[tex]c[/tex] the speed of light
[tex]\mu[/tex] permeability
Homework Equations
[tex]2\alpha \hbar = \pi^2 \mu_0 c[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
A paper I downloaded a while back, but can't actually link to states this equation
[tex]2\alpha \hbar = \pi^2 \mu_0 c[/tex]
in a derivation. It seemed a little odd, are the dimensions right? I noticed all the data in this equation are actually made up of constants. Is it wise to say that when you deal with dimensionless objects, they are always constants (for a separate question).
Thank you!
