Which of the following physical quantities has the same unit as Planck's constant?

Asked in GSEB Board July 2021 · Photon energy, momentum and mass

Answer: (2) Angular momentum

Step-by-step solution

Idea: from E = hf, h = E/f, so its unit is J s.

J s = kg m² s⁻²×s = kg m² s⁻¹

Angular momentum L = Iω has unit kg m²×s⁻¹ = kg m² s⁻¹.

So Planck's constant has the same unit as angular momentum.

Why the other options are wrong
