plane mirror. He then
places another plane
mirror at an angle of
45 to the first mirror
such that the candle
is now placed
symmetrically
between the two
mirrors. How many
images of the candle
will be formed due
to these two mirrors
and how will it affect
the brightness of the
room?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

you should remember the above attached table image

and your answer, here you go,

360/45=8

and in the table it's given that when the object is placed symmetrical and value of 360/x=even

then the number of images is 360/x-1

So the number of images formed will be 7
