Why are more images formed when the angle between two mirrors is reduced?
Answers
f the image of an object is viewed in two plane mirrors that are inclined to each other more than one image is formed. The number of images depends on the angle between the two mirrors.
The number of images formed in two plane mirrors inclined at an angle A to each other is given by the formula: Number of images = (360/A) - 1
Figure 3 shows the case for an angle of 60 degrees between the mirrors. As the angle gets smaller (down to 0 degrees when the mirrors are facing each other and parallel) the smaller the angle the greater the number of images.
Answer:
More images are formed when the angle between two mirrors is reduced because the number of images formed is inversely proportional to the angle between mirrors . As the angle between mirrors reduces then number of reflection increases and number of images are increased.
