The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation: \[ \frac{|\vec{a} + \vec{b}|}{|\vec{a} - \vec{b}|} = 1 \] ### Step 1: Set up the equation Since the ratio is equal to 1, we can write: \[ |\vec{a} + \vec{b}| = |\vec{a} - \vec{b}| \] ### Step 2: Square both sides To eliminate the magnitudes, we square both sides: \[ |\vec{a} + \vec{b}|^2 = |\vec{a} - \vec{b}|^2 \] ### Step 3: Expand both sides Using the formula for the magnitude of a vector, we expand both sides: \[ (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) = (\vec{a} - \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{a} - \vec{b}) \] This gives us: \[ |\vec{a}|^2 + 2\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} + |\vec{b}|^2 = |\vec{a}|^2 - 2\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} + |\vec{b}|^2 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Now, we can simplify the equation by canceling out the common terms on both sides: \[ 2\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = -2\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \] ### Step 5: Combine like terms Adding \(2\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\) to both sides gives: \[ 4\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve for the angle Since \(4\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0\), we can conclude that: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \] The dot product of two vectors is zero when the angle between them is \(90^\circ\). Thus, we find: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] ### Final Answer The angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is \(90^\circ\). ---
