If two plane mirrors are inclined at an ...

If two plane mirrors are inclined at an angle of `120^@` to each other, how many images of an object are
formed?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the number of images formed by two plane mirrors inclined at an angle of \(120^\circ\) 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. ...
