Question:
If $A=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0 & \sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & 0\end{array}\right)$ and $\operatorname{det}\left(A^{2}-\frac{1}{2} I\right)=0$, then
a possible value of $\alpha$ is
Correct Option: , 3
Solution:
$\mathrm{A}^{2}=\sin ^{2} \alpha \mathrm{I}$
So, $\left|A^{2}-\frac{I}{2}\right|=\left(\sin ^{2} \alpha-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow \sin \alpha=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
