Which of the following equations give the expression for plate number, N when ‘tR’ is the adjusted retention time and ‘Wb’ is the width at the base of the peak which is equal to 4 standard deviations.(a) 16 tR^2/Wb(b) 4 tR^2/Wb(c) (4tR/Wb)^2(d) 4 (tR/Wb)^2I had been asked this question at a job interview.My question is taken from Column Efficiency and Column Resolution topic in section Chromatography of Analytical Instrumentation

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (c) (4tR/Wb)^2

The best I can explain: The expression for PLATE NUMBER, N is given as N = (4tR/Wb)^2. It is a dimensionless QUANTITY.
