To find the distance $d$ over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy conditions,a railway engineer uses dimensional analysis and assumes that the distance depends on the mass density $\rho$ of the fog,intensity (power/area) $S$ of the light from the signal,and its frequency $f$. The engineer finds that $d$ is proportional to $S^{1/n}$. The value of $n$ is:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $6$
