Question

find the spherical coordinates associated with the point (1,1,0) in the Cartesian system.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Spherical coordinates can be a little challenging to understand at first. Spherical coordinates determine the position of a point in three-dimensional space based on the distance ρ from the origin and two angles θ and ϕ. If one is familiar with polar coordinates, then the angle θ isn't too difficult to understand as it is essentially the same as the angle θ from polar coordinates. But some people have trouble grasping what the angle ϕ is all about.
