Which physical quantity is dimensionless?

Dimensionless quantities are those without any physical dimensions, like angles and refractive index. As per NCERT Class 11 Chapter 2, dimensional analysis checks correctness and SI units define base and derived quantities. This principle confirms that Angular displacement is correct because its dimensions and unit match the physical quantity asked.
