No. Of imageimages

Multiple Images with Plane Mirrors Introduction The number of images formed by two adjacent plane mirrors depends on the angle between the mirror. If  θ  (in degrees) is angle between the plane mirrors then number of images are given by, n=n = 360 θ − 1. We verify this formula in this experiment. Apparatus Two plane mirrors, protractor to measure angle, candle, matchbox. Procedure Take two plane mirrors (without frame). Place both the mirrors side by side and fix the junction where they meet with a cello tape. Now you will be able to open and close the mirrors like a book. Place both the mirrors at a small angle apart in the upright position on the floor. Place a lighted candle in the space between the two mirrors. You will observe many images of the candle which makes a beautiful scene. Now, by gradually decreasing the angle between the mirrors observe the images being formed. You will now observe more and more numbers of images of the candle. Similarly, if the angle between ...
