Practicing Success
The unit vector perpendicular to each of the vectors $\vec{a}+\vec{b}$ and $\vec{a}-\vec{b}$, where $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ an $\vec{b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$, is: |
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{i}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{j}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{k}$ $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{i}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{j}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{k}$ $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{i}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{j}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{k}$ $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{i}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{j}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{k}$ |
$-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{i}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{j}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{k}$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{i}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{j}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \hat{k}$ |
