In spherical polar coordinates (l, q, a), q denotes the polar angle around z-axis and a denotes the azimuthal angle raised from x-axis . Then the y-component of P is given by
A. Psinq sina
B. Psinq cosa
C. Pcosq sina
D. Pcosq cosa
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The Cartesian Coordinates can be retrieved from spherical coordinates (l,q,a) by:X = r.sinq.cosa
Y = r.sinq.sina
Z = r.sinq
Using the same we get for P,
Y = P.sinq.sina
