The correct Answer is:
To find the number of images formed by two mirrors placed at an angle of \(60^\circ\), we can use the formula: \[ n = \frac{360}{\theta} - 1 \] where \(n\) is the number of images formed and \(\theta\) is the angle between the two mirrors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the angle between the mirrors**: The angle given in the problem is \(60^\circ\). 2. **Substitute the angle into the formula**: We will substitute \(\theta = 60^\circ\) into the formula: \[ n = \frac{360}{60} - 1 \] 3. **Calculate \( \frac{360}{60} \)**: Performing the division: \[ \frac{360}{60} = 6 \] 4. **Subtract 1 from the result**: Now we subtract 1 from 6: \[ n = 6 - 1 = 5 \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the number of images formed when the angle between the two mirrors is \(60^\circ\) is \(5\). ### Final Answer: 5 images will be formed. ---
