1 Easy

1 of 1

Application +4 | -1

\hat a,\hat b,\hat c

are three unit vectors such that

{\hat b}

and

{\hat c}

are non-parallel and

\hat a \times \left( {\hat b \times \hat c} \right) = \frac{1}{2}\hat b,

then the angle between

{\hat a}

and

{\hat c}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

60^\circ

The correct answer is C (

60^\circ

) because it is the angle between the two unit vectors, derived from the vector triple product and the given condition.
