An angle bisector is a ray dividing an angle into two equal angles. For nonopposite unit vectors $u,v$, its internal direction is $u+v$: the dot products with $u$ and $v$ are equal. The direction $u-v$ bisects the external angle. The three internal angle bisectors of a triangle meet at the incenter, equidistant from its side lines. The angle bisector theorem relates each bisector to side-length ratios.

An internal angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side in the ratio of the two adjacent sides. If $AD$ bisects the angle at $A$ in triangle $ABC$, then $BD/DC=AB/AC$. Comparing the areas of triangles $ABD$ and $ACD$ proves this: their shared altitude gives the ratio $BD/DC$, while their equal included angles give $AB/AC$.

For two inertial frames with equal speed in a laboratory, a photon is measured at equal angular frequency by their comoving observers exactly when its laboratory propagation unit vector $\mathbf{n}$ obeys the displayed condition. Indeed, measured angular frequency is $-k\cdot U=\gamma {\omega }_{\mathrm{lab}}(1-\mathbf{n}\cdot \mathbf{v}/c)$, and equal laboratory Lorentz factors cancel. Thus the permitted directions form a great circle on the unit sphere. In the plane of the two laboratory velocities, only the internal angle bisector line remains. The velocity information alone fixes neither direction along that line nor coplanarity of the ray.

The intersection of a triangle's internal angle bisectors. It is the center of the circle tangent to all three sides, and its distance to any side is the inradius.

Molecular dipole cancellation occurs when nonzero contributions to a molecule's electric dipole moment cancel under vector addition. In a bond dipole model, use ${\mathbf{p}}_{\mathrm{mol}}={\sum }_b{\mathbf{p}}_b$; adding magnitudes instead discards the molecular geometry. A symmetric linear molecule with two equivalent opposed bond dipoles has ${\mathbf{p}}_1=p_0\hat{\mathbf{x}}$ and ${\mathbf{p}}_2=-p_0\hat{\mathbf{x}}$, hence zero total electric dipole moment even though each chemical bond is polarized. Carbon dioxide provides the familiar molecular example; water's bent molecular geometry permits a nonzero total.^[ref]

For an original geometry calculation, give a fictitious three-site model $A{B}_2$ a central effective electric charge $+2q$ at the origin and two terminal electric charges $-q$ atHere $r$ is the stipulated bond length, $\theta$ the angle between the two connections, and $q>0$ is independent of any electronegativity scale. Equivalently, split the central $+2q$ into two colocated $+q$ contributions, one for each neutral bond dipole. With $p_0=qr$, the physical electric dipole moments point from the terminal sites towards the central site:The sideways components cancel; the components along the angle bisector add. Thus $|{\mathbf{p}}_{\mathrm{mol}}|=2p_0\cos (\theta /2)$. At $\theta =180^{\circ }$ the result is zero; at the stipulated $\theta =120^{\circ }$ it is exactly $p_0$. This is an angle example for a model, not the measured angle or electric dipole moment of water.

Opposition alone is insufficient: a linear molecule with unequal opposed bond dipoles of magnitudes $p_1$ and $p_2$ retains magnitude $|p_1-p_2|$. Conversely, symmetry can enforce exact cancellation beyond a particular bond dipole partition. If the complete charge density invariant under point reflection about the origin satisfies $\rho (\mathbf{r})=\rho (-\mathbf{r})$, contributions to $\int \mathbf{r}\rho (\mathbf{r})d^{3}r$ cancel in pairs. That proof uses the whole electric charge distribution, including lone pairs and atomic nuclei. It explains why molecular symmetry is stronger evidence for zero permanent electric dipole moment than a rule based only on tabulated electronegativity differences.

A permanent molecular electric dipole moment is specified relative to the molecule's orientation. An ensemble with random orientations can have zero mean laboratory vector while each molecule is polar. That orientational average differs from internal molecular dipole cancellation. The Stark effect and molecular beam electric resonance probe molecular electric dipole moments through state-dependent responses to an electric field.

Let ${\mathbf{v}}_1=(c/2,0,0)$ and ${\mathbf{v}}_2=(c/(2\sqrt{2}),c/(2\sqrt{2}),0)$ in A. Each has Lorentz factor $g=2/\sqrt{3}$. The relative Lorentz factor of $S_2$ in the rest frame of $S_1$ follows from their four-velocity tensor contraction:Let $b=\sqrt{1-{\Gamma }^{-2}}$ be the relative speed divided by $c$. In the rest frame of $S_1$, take $\theta$ between the photon's propagation direction and $S_2$'s velocity. The observed angular frequency is the invariant $\omega =-k\cdot U$. Applying it to the emitter, whose rest angular frequency is ${\omega }_0$, gives ${\omega }_0=\Gamma {\omega }_1(1-b\cos \theta )$. Since ${\omega }_1={\omega }_0$,This is a relativistic Doppler effect calculation using both emitters' and receivers' rest clocks; the time delay of reception introduces no extra factor for constant velocities.

For the direction in A, write the wave four-vector as $k^{\mu }=({\omega }_A/c)(1,\mathbf{n})$, where $\mathbf{n}$ is a unit vector. Equality of the emitted and received angular frequencies gives $k\cdot (U_1-U_2)=0$. Since the two laboratory Lorentz factors are equal, their time components cancel:Thus the complete answer in three spatial dimensions isIf propagation is additionally assumed to lie in the stars' motion plane, this reduces to either direction along the internal angle bisector, $22.5^{\circ }$ or $202.5^{\circ }$ from $+x$. Reflection exchanging the stars' laboratory velocities explains the angle bisector by symmetry. The source does not specify coplanar propagation or the stars' positions, so it does not fix the sign or exclude an out-of-plane ray. For example $\mathbf{n}=(0,0,1)$ gives ${\omega }_1={\omega }_2=g{\omega }_A$ and satisfies the same no-shift condition. Initial positions can be chosen to make such a ray connect emission and reception. All these possibilities give the same rest-frame $\theta$ above.
