The correct Answer is:
To find the number of images formed by two mirrors placed at an angle of \(60^\circ\) to each other, we can use the formula for the number of images formed by two mirrors: \[ N = \frac{360^\circ}{\theta} - 1 \] where \(N\) is the number of images and \(\theta\) is the angle between the two mirrors. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the angle between the mirrors**: The angle \(\theta\) is given as \(60^\circ\). 2. **Use the formula for the number of images**: Substitute \(\theta\) into the formula: \[ N = \frac{360^\circ}{60^\circ} - 1 \] 3. **Calculate \(\frac{360^\circ}{60^\circ}\)**: \[ \frac{360^\circ}{60^\circ} = 6 \] 4. **Subtract 1 from the result**: \[ N = 6 - 1 = 5 \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the number of images formed by the two mirrors at \(60^\circ\) to each other is \(5\). ### Final Answer: The number of images formed is \(5\). ---
