NEET 2017 Physics Magnetic Dip MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
If θ₁ and θ₂ be the apparent angles of dip observed in two vertical planes at right angles to each other, then the true angle of dip δ is given by
A
cot²δ = cot²θ₁ + cot²θ₂
B
tan²δ = tan²θ₁ + tan²θ₂
C
cot²θ₁ = cot²θ₂ + cot²δ
D
tan²θ₁ = tan²θ₂ + tan²δ
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The true angle of dip can be calculated using the relation between the apparent dips in two perpendicular planes.
