Position vector hat k is rotated about ...

Position vector ` hat k` is rotated about the origin by angle `135^0` in such a way that the plane made by it bisects the angel between ` hat ia n d hatjdot` Then its new position is `+-( hat i)/(sqrt(2))+-( hat j)/(sqrt(2))` b. `+-( hat i)/2+-( hat j)/2-( hat k)/(sqrt(2))` c. `( hat i)/(sqrt(2))-( hat k)/(sqrt(2))` d. none of these

A

`+-hati/sqrt2+-hatj/sqrt2`

B

`+-hati/2+-hatj/2-hatk/sqrt2`

C

`hati/sqrt2-hatk/sqrt2`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
Let `vecr` be the new position . Then `vecr= lambdahatk + mu ( hati + hatj) `
` Also, vecr.hatk = - 1/sqrt2 Rightarrow lambda= - 1/sqrt2`
` Also lambda^(2)+ 2mu^(2) = 1 Rightarrow 2mu^92) = 1/2 or mu = +- 1/2`
` vecr = +- 1/2 (hati + hatj) =- hatk/sqrt2`
