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, $\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|=1$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}\big|}^2+2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=1$
$\Rightarrow1+1+2|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\cos\theta=1$
$\Rightarrow2+2\cos\theta=1$
$\Rightarrow2\cos\theta=-1$
$\Rightarrow\cos\theta=\frac{-1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\theta=\frac{2\pi}{3}$
