Amount of solar energy received on the earth's surface per unit area per unit time is defined a solar constant. Dimension of solar constant is:

A

$ML ^{2} T ^{-2}$

B

$MLT ^{-2}$

C

$M ^{2} L ^{0} T ^{-1}$

D

$ML ^{0} T ^{-3}$

Answer

$ML ^{0} T ^{-3}$

Explanation

Solution

$S =\frac{ P }{ A }=\frac{ ML ^{2} T ^{-3}}{ L ^{2}}$
$= MT ^{-3}$
