How to find out Noor images in multiple reflection?

Solution

Mirrors reflecting other mirrors

A mirror reflects everything in front of it including another mirror. If you place two mirrors at an angle, you increase the number of reflected images you can see. Depending on the angle you choose, you can see a number of unbroken reflections and one or more composite or partial reflections. When the mirrors are set at 90º and 60° degrees exactly, the composite reflection is evenly divided so it looks like a single image.

The angles of incidence and reflection

Without going into exquisite detail, what you see also depends on where you stand and where you place the object – the angles of incidence and reflection.

Multiple reflection of light is the reflection of light back and forth several times between reflecting surfaces.
If a reflected light ray is reflected again on being incident on another surface, it is termed multiple reflections. Multiple reflections are used in periscopes. Periscopes are used in submarines, war tanks and by solders in bunkers to see objects that are not visible directly. In a barber’s shop, we see the back of the head using multiple reflections of two mirrors. In a Kaleidoscope, beautiful patterns are formed due to multiple reflections.,
