At a certain place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is `sqrt(3)` times the vertical component. The angle of dip at that place is

Options

A. `60^(@)`
B. `45^(@)`
C. `90^(@)`
D. `30^(@)`

Explanation

`tantheta=(B_(v))/(B_(H))=(B_(v))/(sqrt(3)B_(v))`
`=(1)/(sqrt(3))=tan30^(@) therefore theta=30^(@)(4)`
