MCQ
The vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ are such that

$|\vec{A}+\vec{B}|=|\vec{A}-\vec{B}|$

The angle between the two vectors is

  • A
    $60$
  • B
    $75$
  • C
    $45$
  • $90$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$90$
d
The formula for $|\vec{A}+\vec{B}|^{2}$ is,

$|\vec{A}+\vec{B}|^{2}=|\vec{A}|^{2}+|\vec{B}|^{2}+2 \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}$

$=A+B+2 A B \cos \theta$ And The formula for $|\vec{A}-\vec{B}|^{2}$ is,

$|\vec{A}-\vec{B}|^{2}=|\vec{A}|^{2}+|\vec{B}|^{2}-2 \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}$

$=A+B-2 A B \cos \theta$

It is given that,

$|\vec{A}+\vec{B}|^{2}=|\vec{A}-\vec{B}|^{2}$

$A+B+2 A B \cos \theta=A+B-2 A B \cos \theta$

$4 A B \cos \theta=0$

$\cos \theta=0$

$\theta=90^{\circ}$
