{{Short description|Property of two or more vectors that are orthogonal and of unit length}} In [[linear algebra]], two [[vector space|vectors]] in an [[inner product space]] are '''orthonormal''' if they are [[orthogonality|orthogonal]] [[unit vector]]s. A unit vector means that the vector has a length of 1, which is also known as normalized. Orthogonal means that the vectors are all perpendicular to each other. A set of vectors form an '''orthonormal set''' if all vectors in the set are mutually orthogonal and all of unit length. An orthonormal set which forms a [[basis (linear algebra)|basis]] is called an ''[[orthonormal basis]]''.
