Which of the following relations is true for two unit vector A^\widehat A and B^\widehat B making an angle θ\theta to each other?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A ∣A^+B^∣=∣A^−B^∣tan⁡θ2|\widehat A + \widehat B| = |\widehat A - \widehat B|\tan {\theta \over 2}
  • B ∣A^−B^∣=∣A^+B^∣tan⁡θ2|\widehat A - \widehat B| = |\widehat A + \widehat B|\tan {\theta \over 2}
  • C ∣A^+B^∣=∣A^−B^∣cosθ2|\widehat A + \widehat B| = |\widehat A - \widehat B|cos{\theta \over 2}
  • D ∣A^−B^∣=∣A^+B^∣cos⁡θ2|\widehat A - \widehat B| = |\widehat A + \widehat B|\cos {\theta \over 2}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵\because ∣A^−B^∣=2sin⁡(θ2)\left| {\widehat A - \widehat B} \right| = 2\sin \left( {{\theta \over 2}} \right)

and, ∣A^+B^∣=2cos⁡(θ2)\left| {\widehat A + \widehat B} \right| = 2\cos \left( {{\theta \over 2}} \right)

⇒∣A^−B^∣∣A^+B^∣=tan⁡(θ2)\Rightarrow {{\left| {\widehat A - \widehat B} \right|} \over {\left| {\widehat A + \widehat B} \right|}} = \tan \left( {{\theta \over 2}} \right)
