MCQ
The unit vector along $\hat i + \hat j$ is
  • A
    $\hat k$
  • B
    $\hat i + \hat j$
  • $\frac{{\hat i + \hat j}}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\hat i + \hat j}}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{{\hat i + \hat j}}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
c
(c)$\hat R$$ = \frac{{\vec R}}{{|R|}} = \frac{{\hat i + \hat j}}{{\sqrt {{1^2} + {1^2}} }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\hat i + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\hat j$
