At `45^@` to the magnetic meridian, the apparent dip is `30^@`. Find the true dip.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At `45^@` to the magnetic meridian, the effective horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is `B'_H = B_H cos 45^@ = 1/(sqrt(2)) B_H`. The apparent dip `delta` is given by
`(tandelta' = (B_v)/(b'_H) = (sqrt(2) B_v))/(B_H) = sqrt(2) tandelta`
or, `delta = tan^(-1) sqrt(1/6)`.
