Vector triangle relationship

The geometric properties of vectors can be combined into the triangle relationship, also called the cosine rule, which states that ... 

In Figure 2.6(b), the F and associated vectors are shown with the imaginary axis inverted. Figure 2.6(c) uses F+ from Figure 2.6(a) and F from Figure 2.6(b) in order to construct the phase triangle relationship between F+, F and 2F. .. 

Figure 4 Schematic vector diagrams illustrating the use of coherent inelastic neutron scattering to determine phonon dispersion relationships, (a) Scattering m real space (h) a scattering triangle illustrating the momentum transfer, Q, of the neutrons in relation to the reciprocal lattice vector of the sample t and the phonon wave vector, q. Heavy dots represent Bragg reflections.

Fig. 2.2 A diagram of the momentum vectors in a scattering event shown in real space, above, and their relationship to the scattering triangle, shown below. The incident, i, and final, f, neutron momenta, k and the transferred momentum Q, are shown in the figure.

A rule similar to Ohm s law still applies, so the current still is given by V / Z.) It is convenient in electronics to use a type of vector for this relationship, called a "phasor," as in Fig. 9.8. Note that the Z vector, the long-dash line, is the hypotenuse of the triangle made by the R and Xc vectors (solid lines).
