  • Image Formation with Mirrors: Calculating the Number of Images
    Here's how to determine the number of images formed by two mirrors at a 60-degree angle:

    The Formula

    The number of images 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 = 60°

    2. Calculate: N = 360°/60° - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

    Therefore, 5 images will be formed when two mirrors are placed at a 60-degree angle.
