Question
If v1, v2, and v3 are noncoplanar vectors, let
(These vectors occur in the study of crystallography. Vectors of the form n1v1 + n2v2 + n3v3, where each ni is an integer, form a lattice for a crystal. Vectors written similarly in terms of k1, k2, and k3 form the reciprocal lattice.)
Show that ki is perpendicular to vj if i ≠ j.Show that ki . vi = 1 for i = 1, 2, 3.Show that k1 . (k2 x k3) =
