If $\vec a.\vec b$ and $\sqrt{3}\vec a-\vec b$ are three unit vectors, then the angle between $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ is: |
π/6 π/4 π/3 π/2 |
π/6 |
The correct answer is Option (1) → π/6 $|a|=|b|=1$ Given $|\sqrt{3}\,a-b|=1$ $ (\sqrt{3}\,a-b)\cdot(\sqrt{3}\,a-b)=1$ $3|a|^{2}-2\sqrt{3}\,(a\cdot b)+|b|^{2}=1$ $3-2\sqrt{3}\,(a\cdot b)+1=1$ $4-2\sqrt{3}\,(a\cdot b)=1$ $-2\sqrt{3}\,(a\cdot b)=-3$ $a\cdot b=\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $\cos\theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\;$ so $\;\theta=\frac{\pi}{6}$ The angle between $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is $\frac{\pi}{6}\,$. |
