The Planck length {p is given by the following combination of these three constants: 3.00 × 10° m/s, Gh lp Show that the dimensions of lp are length [L], and find the order of magnitude of lp. [Recent theories (Chapters 32 and 33) suggest that the smallest particles (quarks, leptons) are “strings" with lengths on the order of the Planck length, 10-35 m. These theories also suggest that the “Big Bang," with which the universe is believed to have begun, started from an initial size on the order of the Planck length.]arrow_forward
