The expression $\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\hat i + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\hat j} \right)$ is a

$\vec P = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\hat i + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\hat j$

$|\vec P| = \sqrt {{{\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2}} = 1$

It is a unit vector.
