The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle between the two vectors \( \hat{i} + \hat{j} \) and \( \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) using the formula for the angle between two vectors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Vectors**: Let \( \vec{A} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} \) and \( \vec{B} = \hat{j} + \hat{k} \). 2. **Calculate the Dot Product**: The dot product \( \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} \) is calculated as follows: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \cdot (\hat{j} + \hat{k}) = \hat{i} \cdot \hat{j} + \hat{i} \cdot \hat{k} + \hat{j} \cdot \hat{j} + \hat{j} \cdot \hat{k} \] Since \( \hat{i} \cdot \hat{j} = 0 \), \( \hat{i} \cdot \hat{k} = 0 \), \( \hat{j} \cdot \hat{j} = 1 \), and \( \hat{j} \cdot \hat{k} = 0 \), we find: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 1 \] 3. **Calculate the Magnitudes of the Vectors**: The magnitude of \( \vec{A} \) is: \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{(\hat{i}^2 + \hat{j}^2)} = \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{2} \] The magnitude of \( \vec{B} \) is: \[ |\vec{B}| = \sqrt{(\hat{j}^2 + \hat{k}^2)} = \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{2} \] 4. **Use the Formula for the Angle**: The angle \( \theta \) between the two vectors is given by: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{A}| |\vec{B}|}\right) \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{2}}\right) = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \] 5. **Find the Angle**: We know that \( \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3} \) radians. ### Conclusion: Thus, the angle between the two vectors \( \hat{i} + \hat{j} \) and \( \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) is indeed \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) radians, confirming that both the assertion and the reason provided in the question are true.
