Question

The value of $${\text{Arg}}\left[ {i\ln \left( {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right)} \right],$$    where $$a$$ and $$b$$ are real numbers, is

A. $$0\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\pi $$  
B. $$\frac{\pi }{2}$$
C. not defined
D. None of these
Answer :   $$0\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\pi $$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & \ln \left( {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right) = \ln \left| {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right| + i\left[ {2n\pi + \arg \left( {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right)} \right] \cr & = i\left[ {2n\pi + \arg \left( {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right)} \right]{\text{ Since, }}\left| {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right| = 1 \cr & \therefore {\text{Arg}}\left[ {i\ln \left( {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right)} \right] \cr & = {\text{Arg}}\left[ { - 2n\pi - \arg \left( {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right)} \right] = 0\,\,{\text{or }}\pi \cr & {\text{As }}2n\pi + \arg \left( {\frac{{a - ib}}{{a + ib}}} \right)\,\,{\text{is a real number}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
