Question

An object is placed between two plane mirrors inclined at an angle of 50^o. Find the number of images formed.

Answer 1

When two plane mirrors are kept at an angle θ with each other, number of images that can be formed is given by,

n = (360/θ) – 1

When θ = 50^o,

n = 360/50 – 1

=> n = 7.2 – 1 = 6.2

Thus, the number of image formed is 6.
