For a unitary matrix, $A^{†}=A^{-1}$, so both defining products for a normal matrix are $I$. The matrix is invertible, hence no eigenvalue is zero. If $Ax=\lambda x$, then $A^{-1}x={\lambda }^{-1}x$, while part (a)(iii) gives $A^{†}x=\overline{\lambda }x$. Therefore $\overline{\lambda }={\lambda }^{-1}$, andThus all eigenvalues have unit modulus.
