The projection of \(\hat{i}-\hat{j}\) on the vector \(\hat{i}+\hat{j}\) is :

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  3. C 2
  4. D 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (\hat{i}-\hat{j}) \cdot (\hat{i}+\hat{j}) = 1(1) + (-1)(1) = 1-1=0 \) \( |\hat{i}+\hat{j}| = \sqrt{1^2+1^2} = \sqrt{2} \) \( \text{Projection} = \frac{0}{\sqrt{2}} = 0 \)
