MCQ
If $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ be two unit vectors and $\theta$ the angle between them, than $\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}$ is a unit vector if $\theta=$
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • $\frac{2\pi}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{2\pi}{3}$
We have

$|\vec{\text{a}}|=1$ and $\big|\vec{\text{b}\big|}=1$

Now, $\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|=1$

$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}\big|}^2+2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=1$

$\Rightarrow1+1+2|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\cos\theta=1$

$\Rightarrow2+2\cos\theta=1$

$\Rightarrow2\cos\theta=-1$

$\Rightarrow\cos\theta=\frac{-1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\theta=\frac{2\pi}{3}$
