MCQ
If a vector $\overrightarrow P $ making angles $\alpha, \beta\ and\ \gamma$ respectively with the $X, Y$ and $Z$ axes respectively. Then ${\sin ^2}\alpha + {\sin ^2}\beta + {\sin ^2}\gamma = $
- A$0$
- B$1$
- ✓$2$
- D$3$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2$
c
(c) ${\sin ^2}\alpha + {\sin ^2}\beta + {\sin^2} \gamma $
(c) ${\sin ^2}\alpha + {\sin ^2}\beta + {\sin^2} \gamma $
$ = 1 - {\cos ^2}\alpha + 1 - {\cos ^2}\beta + 1 - {\cos ^2}\gamma $
$ = 3 - ({\cos ^2}\alpha + {\cos ^2}\beta + {\cos ^2}\gamma )$
$ = 3 - 1 = 2$
