An object is positioned between two plane mirrors inclined at right angle to each other.find the number of images formed
The number of images formed by two plane mirrors inclined at a right angle to each other can be determined by the formula:
Number of images = (360 degrees)/(angle between the mirrors - 360 degrees)
In this case, the angle between the mirrors is 90 degrees, so substituting this into the formula:
Number of images = (360 degrees)/(90 degrees - 360 degrees)
= 360 degrees/(-270 degrees)
= -1.33
Since the number of images cannot be a fraction or negative, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the number of images formed is 1.
