  1. If vectors A = cos ωtî + sin ωtĵ and B = cos
    ωt
    î + sin
    ωt
    ĵ are functions of time, then the value
    22

    of t at which they are orthogonal to each other is :​​
    1. t =
      π
    2. t -
      π
      ω
    3. t = 0
    4. t -
      π

Correct Option: B

Two vectors are ​
A = cos ωtî + sin ωtĵ

B = cos
ωt
î + sin
ωt
22

For two vectors A and B to be orthogonal A . B = 0
A . B = 0 = cos ωt . cos
ωt
î + sin ωt . sin
ωt
22

= cosωt -
ωt
= cos
ωt
22

So ,
ωt
=
π
∴ t =
π
22ω
