  • Number of Images Formed by Angled Plane Mirrors: A Simple Calculation
    Here's how to figure out the number of images formed by two plane mirrors tilted at an angle:

    The Formula

    The number of images (N) formed by two plane mirrors inclined at an angle (θ) is given by:

    N = 360°/θ - 1

    Calculation

    1. Substitute the angle: In this case, θ = 72 degrees.

    2. Calculate: N = 360°/72° - 1 = 5 - 1 = 4

    Answer:

    Therefore, four images are formed when two plane mirrors are tilted at an angle of 72 degrees.
