The decimal expansion of sqrt(50) = 5*sqrt(2) = 7.0710678118654752440... gives essentially the same sequence.
Also real and imaginary part of the square root of the imaginary unit. - Alonso del Arte, Jan 07 2011
1/sqrt(2) = (1/2)^(1/2) = (1/4)^(1/4) (see the comments in A072364).
If a triangle has sides whose lengths form a harmonic progression in the ratio 1 : 1/(1 + d) : 1/(1 + 2d) then the triangle inequality condition requires that d be in the range -1 + 1/sqrt(2) < d < 1/sqrt(2). - Frank M Jackson, Oct 11 2011
Let s_2(n) be the sum of the base-2 digits of n and epsilon(n) = (-1)^s_2(n), the Thue-Morse sequence A010060, then Product_{n >= 0} ((2*n + 1)/(2*n + 2))^epsilon(n) = 1/sqrt(2). - Jonathan Vos Post, Jun 03 2012
The square root of 1/2 and thus it follows from the Pythagorean theorem that it is the sine of 45 degrees (and the cosine of 45 degrees). - Alonso del Arte, Sep 24 2012
Circumscribed sphere radius for a regular octahedron with unit edges. In electrical engineering, ratio of effective amplitude to peak amplitude of an alternating current/voltage. - Stanislav Sykora, Feb 10 2014
Radius of midsphere (tangent to edges) in a cube with unit edges. - Stanislav Sykora, Mar 27 2014

FORMULA

Equals sin(Pi/4) = cos(Pi/4).
Equals Integral_{x=0..Pi/4} cos(x) dx. (End)
Equals hypergeom([-1/2, -3/4], [5/4], -1). - Peter Bala, Mar 02 2022
Limit_{n->oo} (sqrt(T(n+1)) - sqrt(T(n))) = 1/sqrt(2), where T(n) = n(n+1)/2 = A000217(n) is the triangular numbers. - Jules Beauchamp, Sep 18 2022
