In special relativity, it is not necessarily obvious that the velocity of system B as observed in system A is the negative of the velocity vector of system A observed in system B. From the orthogonality properties of L, prove that the two vectors have the same magnitude and are in fact the negative of each other. For simplicity, a pure Lorentz transformation may be assumed, although this condition is not necessary for the proof.
