Match List-I with List-II
Let be the angle between the vectors and .
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (A) | (I) |
| (B) | (II) |
| (C) Projection vector of on () | (III) where is a unit vector perpendicular to both and |
| (D) and are orthogonal vectors | (IV) |
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
The dot product of two vectors is defined as:
This gives a scalar quantity.
The cross product of two vectors is defined as:
where is a unit vector perpendicular to both and .
This gives a vector quantity.
The projection vector of onto is:
Scalar projection
Multiplying by the unit vector to get the vector projection:
Orthogonal vectors are perpendicular, so :
Two vectors are orthogonal if and only if .
