The expression `(1/(sqrt(2))hat(i)+1/(sqrt(2))hat(j))` is a

A

unit vector

B

null vector

C

vector of magnitude `sqrt(2)`

D

scalar

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) Let `A=(1)/(sqrt(2))hat(i)+(1)/(sqrt(2))hat(j)`
`|A|=sqrt(((1)/(sqrt(2)))^(2)+((1)/(sqrt(2)))^(2))=sqrt((2)/(2))=1`
As, the magnitude of given vector is 1
`:.` It is a unit vector.
