Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When two plane mirrors are placed parallel to each other, and when an object is placed between them, then the image of the object formed by any one of the mirror will act like virtual object for other mirror. This proces contnues and infinite numbre of image are formed, (or)
`theta=0^(@),n=(360^(@))/(theta)-1=(360^(@))/(0)-1=oo-1=oo`
Where n = number of images formed.
`theta`= angle between the mirrors.
