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 Setup**: - We have two mirrors positioned at a right angle (90 degrees) to each other. - The man is standing between these mirrors. 2. **Identify the Angle Between the Mirrors**: - The angle (θ) between the two mirrors is given as 90 degrees. 3. **Use the Formula for Number of Images**: - The formula to calculate the number of images (n) formed by two mirrors at an angle θ is: \[ n = \frac{360}{\theta} - 1 \] - Here, θ is the angle between the two mirrors. 4. **Substitute the Value of θ**: - Plugging in the value of θ: \[ n = \frac{360}{90} - 1 \] 5. **Calculate the Value**: - Calculate \( \frac{360}{90} \): \[ n = 4 - 1 \] - Therefore, \( n = 3 \). 6. **Conclusion**: - The man will see **3 images** of himself when standing between the two mirrors. ### Final Answer: The man will see **3 images**. ---
