If two mirrors are kept at \( 60^{0} \) to each other and a body is placed in the middle, then total number of images formed is
- A. Three
- B. Four
- C. Five
- D. six
Step-by-step solution
The number of images formed by two mirrors inclined at an angle θ is given by n = (360/θ) - 1 when 360/θ is an integer. For θ = 60°, 360/60 = 6, an integer, so total images = 6 - 1 = 5. The object being placed in the middle (on the bisector) does not affect this count because 360/θ is even.
