Prove normal matrices are RPN (Range perpendicular to Null space) Matrices?

$begingroup$


For a normal matrix $A$, $A^* A = A A^*$ where $A^*$ is the conjugate transpose of $A$

Prove that for normal matrices
$$C(A) perp N(A)$$

          I will use the language of linear transformations. We have $|A^{*}x|^{2}=langle A^{*}x, A^{*}xrangle =langle AA^{*}x, xrangle =langle A^{*}Ax, xrangle ==langle Ax, Axrangle =|Ax|^{2}$ which shows that for any $x$ in the null space of $A$ we also have $A^{*}x=0$. Now let $x$ be in the null space of $A$ and consider any vector $Ay$ in the range of $A$. We have $langle Ay, xrangle =langle y, A^{*}xrangle =langle y, 0rangle =0$.
