Question

Explain the formation of multiple images.

Answer 1

With two plane mirrors oriented at a nearly 50 degree angle to one another, six different images are formed of an object.

Answer 2

The formation of multiple images:

The images were formed when two mirrors are inclined at an angle and the object is located between the mirrors, numerous images are formed due to multiple reflections on the mirrors. The angle between the mirrors is responsible for the creation of multiple images.

$\bold{\text { Number of images }=\left(\frac{360^{\circ}}{\text {Angle between the mirror}}\right)-1}$

For example, the angle of the two mirrors is 60°, five images are created and it also verified by the given formula.
