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

A

unit vector

B

unll 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))hati+(1)/(sqrt(2))hatj`
`|A|=sqrt(((1)/(sqrt(2)))+((1)/(sqrt(2)))^(2))=sqrt((2)/(2))=1`
As the magnitude o fgiven vetor is 1.
`therfore ` It is a unit vector.`
