\frac{\pi}{4}

Hint:

               Angle between \vec{a} and \vec{b}

Given:

Let \vec{a},\vec{b} are unit vector such that, \vec{a}-\sqrt{2}\vec{b} is also a unit vector, then angle between \vec{a} and \vec{b}

Solution:

\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=1 \\ &|\vec{a}-\sqrt{2} \vec{b}|=1 \\ &|\vec{a}-\sqrt{2} \vec{b}|^{2}=1^{2} \\ \end{aligned}     ….squaring on both sides

\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\sqrt{2} \vec{b}|^{2}-2|\vec{a}| \cdot|\sqrt{2} \vec{b}| \cos \theta=1 \\ &1+2(1)^{2}-2(1)(\sqrt{2}(1)) \cos \theta=1 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &1+2-2 \sqrt{2} \cos \theta=1 \\ &3-2 \sqrt{2} \cos \theta=1 \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &3-1=2 \sqrt{2} \cos \theta \\ &2=2 \sqrt{2} \cos \theta \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\cos \theta=\frac{2}{2 \sqrt{2}} \\ &\cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ &\theta=\frac{\pi}{4} \end{aligned}
