Concept:

If 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.

\({\rm{Number\;of\;images}} = \frac{{360}}{\theta } - 1\)

If θ = 60° then n = 5. So 5 images will be formed which can be seen in given diagram.

Calculation:

Here, θ = 45°

\(n = \frac{{360}}{{45}} - 1 = 7\)
