if an equation is dimensionally consistent,why is it not proved right?
Use dimensional analysis to confirm dimensional consistency.
Length of Your Nose + Length of your Little finger = length of your tongue. Dimensionally consistent but physically incorrect (probably).
The first level of confirmation is your knowledge
The second level of conformation is an authority
The third level is a text book
The fourth level is a peer reviewed reference work (article)
the ultimate confirmation is to establish the equation based on your own experimental work and subjected to expert peer review.
