    Which of the following is a unit vector?

    A) \[\hat{i}+\,\hat{j}\]       

    B) \[\cos \,\theta \hat{i}-\sin \,\theta \hat{j}\]

    C) \[\sin \,\theta \hat{i}+2\,x\cos \theta \hat{j}\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\,(\hat{i}+\,\hat{j})\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let \[\vec{A}=\,\cos \theta \hat{i}-\sin \,\theta \hat{j}\] \[\therefore \]      \[\,|\vec{A}|\,\,=\,\sqrt{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +\,{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }=1\] Therefore, it is a unit vector.
