If \(\theta\) is the angle between two unit vectors \(\hat{a}\) and \(\hat{b}\) then \(|\hat{a}-\hat{b}|=\)

  1. A \(\sin \frac{\theta}{2}\)
  2. B \(2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}\)
  3. C \(\cos \frac{\theta}{2}\)
  4. D \(2 \cos \frac{\theta}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\hat{a}-\hat{b}|^2 = |\hat{a}|^2 + |\hat{b}|^2 - 2|\hat{a}||\hat{b}|\cos\theta\) \(|\hat{a}-\hat{b}|^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 - 2(1)(1)\cos\theta = 2 - 2\cos\theta\) \(|\hat{a}-\hat{b}|^2 = 2(1 - \cos\theta) = 2(2\sin^2\frac{\theta}{2})\)…
