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
