The decimal expansion of sqrt(50) = 5*sqrt(2) = 7.0710678118654752440... gives essentially the same sequence.
1/sqrt(2) = cos(Pi/4) = sqrt(2)/2. - Eric Desbiaux, Nov 05 2008
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 prod(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 electric 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
