Q:

In spherical polar coordinates (l, q, a), q denotesthe 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 & Explanation Answer: A) Psinq sina

Explanation:

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
