Question

Place two plane mirrors at an angle of 90° to each other. Place a
small object between them. Images will be formed in both mirrors.
How many images do you see?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 Images will be formed.

Explanation:

• If you place two mirror at an angle, rather than one multiple images are formed. This is because the image formed in the first mirror acts as the object for the second mirror.
• In this case, if you place the mirrors at right angle (90°), then the formula 360/n -1 is used, where n is the angle between the mirror.
• Here, n= 90. So,

360/90–1

=4–1 = 3.

• Therefore, 3 images will be formed.
