An object is placed between two plan mirror indined at an angle titha with each other what is the total number of images formed
Answers
Required Answer:
Total number of images formed will be:
Let's understand briefly!
Here, the concept of multiple reflections has been used. To calculate the number of images of an object placed between two mirrors can be found from the formula:
Where,
- is the angle between the mirrors.
Note:
- The number of images formed by the two plane mirrors increases when the angle between the two mirrors decreases.
- When the angle between two mirrors are parallel to each other, infinite images are formed.
Example!
An object is placed between two plane mirrors inclined at an 120° with each other.What is the total number of images formed?
→ In this question we are given that the two plane mirrors are inclined at 120° to each other i.e the angle between the mirrors. So let's solve this by the formula given above:
We know that,
Where,
- Number of images formed = ?
- (angle between the mirrors)= 120°
Substituting values:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thus, 2 images of an object are formed when two plane mirrors are inclined at an angle of 120˚ to each other.
