MCQ
The amplitude of $\frac{1+\text{i}\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}+\text{i}}$ is:
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • B
    $-\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • D
    $-\frac{\pi}{6}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{\pi}{6}$
Let $\text{z}=\frac{1+\text{i}\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}+\text{i}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=\frac{1+\text{i}\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}+\text{i}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}-\text{i}}{\sqrt{3}-\text{i}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=\frac{\sqrt{3}+2\text{i}-\sqrt{3}\text{i}^2}{3-\text{i}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3}+2\text{i}}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=\frac{2\sqrt{3}+2\text{i}}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\text{i}$
$\Rightarrow\tan\alpha=\Big|\frac{\text{Im(z)}}{\text{Re(z)}}\Big|$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{\pi}{6}$
Since, $z$ lies in the first quadrant.
Therefore, $\text{arg(z)}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\Big)=\frac{\pi}{6}$
