If ` vec a` is a non zero vector a magnitude `' a^(prime)\ a n d\ lambda` is a non a zero scalar, then `lambda\ vec a` is a unit vector if a.`lambda=1` b. `lambda=-1` c. `a-|lambda|` d. `a=1/(|lambda|)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

vector `|a|=a`
`Given : lambda vec{a}` is a unit vectors
`Rightarrow|lambda vec{a}|=1 `
`Rightarrow|lambda||vec{a}|=1 `
`Rightarrow|lambda| a=1 `
`Rightarrow quad a=frac{1}{|lambda|}`
Hence option (d), is correct.
