A magnetic needle vibrates in a vertical plane parallel to the magnetic meridian about the horizontal axis. Its frequency is

n

. If the plane of oscillation is turned about a vertical axis by

90^{\circ}

, the frequency of oscillation will be.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

< n

The correct answer is C (< n) because when the magnetic needle is turned by 90 degrees, it oscillates only due to the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field, which is weaker than the total field.
