Options:

A) 1

B) $ 10^{3} $

C) $ 10^{5} $

D) $ 10^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

In M.K.S. system unit of s is $ \frac{J}{m^{2}\times sec\times K^{4}} $

Therefore $ 1\frac{J}{m^{2}\times sec\times K^{4}}=\frac{10^{7}erg}{10^{4}cm^{2}\times sec\times K^{4}} $

$ =10^{3}\frac{erg}{cm^{2}\times sec\times K^{4}} $
