The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Intensity of radiation is energy flowing per second per unit area, ie
[ Intensity ] = $ \frac{ [ energy ] }{ [ time ] \, [ area ] } $
= $ \frac{ [ ML^2 T^{ - 2} ] } { [ T ] [ L^2 ] } $
= $ [ ML^0 T^{ - 3} ] $

Physical World

The physical world includes the complications of the natural world around us. It is a type of analysis of the physical world around us to understand how it works. The fundamental forces that control nature are:

  • Gravitational Force is a universal force that exists as an outcome of mutual attraction between any two objects with respect to their masses.
  • Electromagnetic Force can be understood as the force that is present between the charged particles. The force is stated by Coulomb’s law.
  • Strong Nuclear Force is the force that ties the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Of all the elemental forces in nature, a strong nuclear force is the strongest as its name suggests.
  • Weak Nuclear Force can only be noticed in some of the nuclear processes such as the beta decay of the nucleus.
