Orthogonal Vectors Two vectors are orthogonal if the angle between them is 90 degree or the dot product is zero. Eg: [ 1,0] and [0,1] are two orthogonal vectors [1,1] and [-1,1] are two orthogonal vectors Orthonormal vectors Two vectors are orthonormal if they are orthogonal and also the length of each vector is 1. Eg: [ 1,0] and [0,1] are two orthonormal vectors ( length 1 and dot product is zero) [1,1] and [-1,1] are two orthogonal vectors but not orthonormal( length is not 1) Definition Let S = {v1, v2, ... , vk} be a set of vectors in Rn, then S is called an orthogonal if vi . vj = 0 for all i not equal to j. An orthogonal set of vectors is called orthonormal if all vectors in S are unit vectors. Theorem Any orthogonal set of vectors S = {v1, v2, ... , vk} are linearly independent. Proof Let c1v1 + ... + cnvk = 0 Since the vectors are orthogonal, we have vi . vj = 0 (for i != j) and when we dot both sides of the equation with vi all the terms drop ou
