    A)  unit matrix

    B)  null matrix

    C)  diagonal matrix

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,   \[E(\theta )=\left[ \begin{matrix}    {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & \cos \theta \sin \theta   \\    \cos \theta \sin \theta  & {{\sin }^{2}}\theta   \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                 \[E(\theta )E(\phi )=\left[ \begin{matrix}    {{\cos }^{2}}\theta  & \cos \theta \sin \theta   \\    \cos \theta \sin \theta  & {{\sin }^{2}}\theta   \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                 \[\times \left[ \begin{matrix}    {{\cos }^{2}}\phi  & \cos \phi \sin \phi   \\    \cos \phi \sin \phi  & {{\sin }^{2}}\phi   \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                 \[=\left[ \begin{align}   & {{\cos }^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\phi +\cos \theta \sin \theta \cos \phi \sin \phi  \\  & \cos \theta \sin \theta {{\cos }^{2}}\phi +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \cos \phi \sin \phi  \\ \end{align} \right.\]                 \[\left. \begin{align}   & {{\cos }^{2}}\theta \cos \phi \sin \phi +cos\theta \sin \theta si{{n}^{2}}\phi  \\  & \cos \theta \sin \theta \cos \phi sin\phi +si{{n}^{2}}\theta {{\sin }^{2}}\phi  \\ \end{align} \right]\]                 \[=\left[ \begin{align}   & \cos \theta \cos \phi \cos (\theta -\phi ) \\  & \cos \phi \sin \theta \cos (\theta -\phi ) \\ \end{align} \right.\]                 \[\left. \begin{align}   & \cos \theta \sin \phi \cos (\theta -\phi ) \\  & \sin \theta \sin \phi \cos (\theta -\phi ) \\ \end{align} \right]\]                 \[=\left[ \begin{align}   & \cos \theta \cos \phi \cos (2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2} \\  & \cos \phi \sin \theta \cos (2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2} \\ \end{align} \right.\]                 \[\left. \begin{align}   & \cos \theta \sin \phi \cos (2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2} \\  & \sin \theta \sin \phi \cos (2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2} \\ \end{align} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & 0  \\    0 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]    \[\left[ \therefore \,\,\cos (2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}=0 \right]\]
