Plane angle and solid angle have:
Units but no dimensions
Dimensions but no units
No units and no dimensions
Both units and dimensions
To solve this problem, we need to understand the concepts of plane angle and solid angle.• A plane angle is defined as the angle subtended by two lines at a point. It is measured in radians.• A solid angle is defined as the angle subtended by a surface at a point. It is measured in steradians.Both plane angle and solid angle are dimensionless quantities.This is because they are defined as ratios:• Plane angle is the ratio of the arc length to the radius • Solid angle is the ratio of the area to the square of the radius Since both are ratios of similar quantities, they are dimensionless.However, they do have units:• Plane angle is measured in radians.• Solid angle is measured in steradians.Therefore, plane angle and solid angle have units but no dimensions.This corresponds to Option 1: Units but no dimensions.
