If the magnitude of sum of two vectors is equal to the magnitude of difference of the two vector, the angle between these Vector is

A

` 0^@`

B

(b) ` 90^@`

C

(45^@`

D

` 180^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Give , `| vec A+vec B| =| vec A-vec B|`
or ` sqrt(A^2 +B^2 + 2 B cos theta)`
` = sqrt A^2 +B^2 = 2 AB cos theta)` ltbRgt or ` A^2 + B^2 + 2 AB cos theta = A^2 + B^2 - 2 AB cos theta`
or ` 4 AB cos theta = 0 ` or ` cos theta = 0` or `theta = 90^@`.
