To get three images of a single object, One should have two plane mirror at an angle of

A

`60^(@)`

B

`90^(@)`

C

`120^(@)`

D

`30^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Consider the diagram where two plane mirrors are inclined at an angle `theta`.
Number of images formed is given by,
`n=(360^(@))/(theta)-1("For odd number of images")`
`Rightarrow 3=(360^(@))/(theta)-1Rightarrow (360^(@))/(theta)=4 Rightarrowtheta=90^(@)`
