Quickly determine the dimensions of Planck's constant (ML2T1) and eliminate options that do not match, as it is a unique dimension among the choices provided for List-II.

Step 1: Determine the dimensions of fundamental quantities✦ Active

The fundamental dimensions are Mass (M), Length (L), Time (T), and Electric Current (A). We will use these to derive the dimensions of the given quantities.

Step 2: Calculate dimensions for each item in List-I○ Expand

A. Planck's constant (h): From E=hν, h=E/ν. Dimensions of Energy [E]=[ML2T2], Dimensions of Frequency [ν]=[T1]. So, [h]=[ML2T2]/[T1]=[ML2T1]. This matches List-II (III).

B. Stopping potential (Vs): From KEmax=eVs, Vs=KEmax/e. Dimensions of Energy [KEmax]=[ML2T2], Dimensions of Charge [e]=[AT]. So, [Vs]=[ML2T2]/[AT]=[ML2T3A1]. This matches List-II (IV).

C. Work function (ϕ): Work function is a form of energy. So, [ϕ]=[ML2T2]. This matches List-II (I).

D. Threshold frequency (u0): Threshold frequency is a type of frequency. So, [u0]=[T1]. This matches List-II (II).

Step 3: Match the quantities to their dimensions and identify the correct option○ Expand

Based on the calculations: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. Comparing this with the given options, option 1 is the correct match.
