The correct Answer is:
To determine the conditions under which the line given by the equation \(\vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b}\) does not meet the plane defined by the equation \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{n} = q\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the conditions for a line not meeting a plane A line will not meet a plane if: 1. The line is parallel to the plane. 2. Any point on the line does not lie on the plane. ### Step 2: Condition for the line to be parallel to the plane For the line to be parallel to the plane, the direction vector of the line \(\vec{b}\) must be perpendicular to the normal vector of the plane \(\vec{n}\). This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \vec{b} \cdot \vec{n} = 0 \] This means that the dot product of the direction vector of the line and the normal vector of the plane must equal zero. ### Step 3: Condition for a point on the line not lying on the plane Next, we need to ensure that any point on the line does not lie on the plane. A point on the line can be represented by \(\vec{r} = \vec{a}\) when \(\lambda = 0\). For this point to not lie on the plane, it must satisfy: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{n} \neq q \] This means that the dot product of the position vector \(\vec{a}\) and the normal vector \(\vec{n}\) must not equal the constant \(q\). ### Step 4: Combine the conditions For the line \(\vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b}\) to not meet the plane \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{n} = q\), both conditions must be satisfied: 1. \(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{n} = 0\) (the line is parallel to the plane) 2. \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{n} \neq q\) (a point on the line does not lie on the plane) ### Conclusion Thus, the line will not meet the plane if: - \(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{n} = 0\) - \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{n} \neq q\)
