Answers
Answer:
Answer:
(a) The front surface of a thick glass mirror is both reflecting and refracting. The back surface is silvered and acts as a mirror. Images are formed by thick glass mirror due to (i) reflection at front surface (ii) reflection at the back surface, the brightest image (iii) multiple reflections within the thickness of glass. Hence a number of images are formed. All these images lie on the normal from the object to the mirror, and shown m Fig.

Answer:
Hi mate.
The thick surface of mirror is both reflecting and refracting. The back silver surface acts as a mirror. Images are formed due to reflection of the incident ray by the front surface,then by the back silvered surface followed by the reflection in the mirrorof the front surface. Thus due to multiple reflection of light,within the glass by the frontand back surfaces, we have a number of images.
