Worked Examples-Calculation Part 2 - Light

Considered Formula;

n=360θ1 Where  nNumber of images,θAngle between two mirrors

Example 1

Find the number of images formed by two plane mirrors at 90°

Solution

Data given

Angle between mirrors (θ)= 90°

Number of images (n) = ?

                                   n=360θ1                                      =360901                                      =41                                      =3 images

The number of images formed = 3


Example 2

Find the number of images formed by two plane mirrors parallel to each other

Solution

Data given

Angle between mirrors (θ)= 0°

Number of images (n) = ?

                                   n=360θ1                                      =36001                                      =1                                      =

The number of images formed = Infinity number of images
