If \(\bar{a}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}\) are unit vectors such that \(|\bar{a}+\overline{\mathrm{b}}|=\sqrt{3}\), then the angle between \(\bar{a}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\bar{a}+\overline{b}|^2 = |\bar{a}|^2 + |\overline{b}|^2 + 2|\bar{a}||\overline{b}|\cos\theta\) \((\sqrt{3})^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 2(1)(1)\cos\theta\)
