A dip needle vibrates in the vertical plane perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. The time period of vibration is found to be 2 seconds. If the same needle is then allowed to vibrate in the horizontal plane and the time period is again found to be 2 seconds, then the angle of dip is:

1. 0o

2. 30o

3. 45o

4. 90o
