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.
