Mark (√) against the correct answer in each of the following:
If a vector makes angle α, β and γ with the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis respectively then the value of (sin2α + sin2β + sin2γ) is
Given - A vector makes angle α, β and γ with the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis respectively.
To Find - (sin2α + sin2β + sin2γ)
Formula to be used - cos2α + cos2β + cos2γ=1
Hence,
sin2α + sin2β + sin2γ
=(1-cos2α) +(1-cos2β) +(1-cos2γ)
= 3–(cos2α + cos2β + cos2γ)
=3-1
