An object is placed (i) asymmetrically (ii) symmetrically, between two plane mirrors inclined at an angle of 50°. Find the number of images formed. Angle between the mirrors, θ = 50o Now, n = 360o / θo = 360o / 50o = 7.2 7, which is odd. (i) When placed asymmetrically, number of images formed will be n, i.e. 7. (ii) When placed symmetrically, number of images formed will be (n-1); i.e. 7-1 = 6 images Concept: Images Formed by a Plane Mirrors Is there an error in this question or solution? |
