The correct Answer is:
To determine how many images a man will see when standing between two mirrors placed at right angles (90 degrees) to each other, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Configuration**: - We have two mirrors placed at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. 2. **Use the Formula for Number of Images**: - The number of images (m) formed by two mirrors can be calculated using the formula: \[ m = \frac{360^\circ}{\theta} - 1 \] - Here, \(\theta\) is the angle between the two mirrors. 3. **Substitute the Angle**: - In this case, since the mirrors are at right angles, we have: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] 4. **Calculate the Number of Images**: - Substitute \(\theta\) into the formula: \[ m = \frac{360^\circ}{90^\circ} - 1 \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ m = 4 - 1 = 3 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the man will see a total of 3 images of himself in the mirrors. ### Final Answer: The man will see **3 images**.
