$$\mid{a}+{ib}\mid=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{above}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{necessary}\:\mathrm{and}?\mathrm{sufficient} \\ $$$$\mathrm{condition}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{if} \\ $$$${arctan}\left({b},{a}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{2}\pi}{{k}}\:\mathrm{then} \\ $$$$\left({a}+{bi}\right)^{{j}+{mk}} =\left({a}+{bi}\right),\:{j},{m},{k}\in\mathbb{Z},\:{j}\in\left[\mathrm{0},{k}−\mathrm{1}\right] \\ $$
