The unit of plane angle, the radian, measures which of the following?

Answer: Plane angle.

  • A Plane angle
  • B Solid angle
  • C Frequency
  • D Luminous flux

Correct answer: A. Plane angle

Explanation: The radian is the SI unit for plane angle (arc length divided by radius). It is dimensionless. The steradian is the unit of solid angle.
