If a and b are unit vectors and θ is the angle between them, then what is sin2θ2 equal to

  • a + b24

  • a - b24

  • a + b22

  • a - b22


B.

a - b24

We know,a - b2 = a2 + b2 - 2a . b= 1 + 1 - 2ab cosθ    ab cosθ = a . b= 21 - cosθ= 21 - 1 - 2sin2θ2    cos2θ = 1 - 2sin2θ= 4sin2θ2Hence, sin2θ2 = a - b24
