For what value of `lambda` asre the vector ` vec a=2 hat i+lambda hat j+ hat k\ a n d\ vec b= hat i-2 hat j+3 hat k` perpendicular to each other?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: `vec{a}=2 hat{i}+lambda hat{j}+hat{k}`

Given: ` vec{b}=hat{i}-2 hat{j}+3 hat{k}`

Given:` vec{a} and vec{b}` are perpendicular.

`Rightarrow vec{a} cdot vec{b}=0`

`Rightarrow(2 hat{i}+lambda hat{j}+hat{k}) cdot(hat{i}-2 hat{j}+3 hat{k})=0 `

`Rightarrow 2-2 lambda+3=0`

So,

`5-2 lambda=0`
