Question

What is the angle between two plane mirrors when there are five images?

Answer 1

Hey mate your answer.....

"If the image of an object is viewed in two plane mirrors that are inclined to each other more than one image is formed. Therefore the angle is 60°.

Answer 2

Answer:

Five images will be created.

Explanation:

In the cases where two plane mirrors are inclined at an angle with each other and we need to calculate the number of images formed by that mirrors set-up,we can use the following mathematical formulas.

a) N={(360÷ø)-1} [ when (360÷ø) is an even number]

b)N= (360÷ø) [ when (360÷ø) is an odd number]

Here, N = number of images and ø = angle between the mirrors.

And, according to the data mentioned in the question,

The value of (360÷ø) will be = (360÷60) = 6 (Even number)

So, the number of images will be = 6-1 = 5 (answer)
