Answer to Question #139867 in Optics for Shreyansh Mishra

Question

Number of images formed by a pair of plane mirrors is given by n = 360/Ø, n-1 if n is even and n (asymmetrical) of n-1 (symmetrical).
What will be the number of images formed if n is a fraction example n = 360/225??

Answer 1

The number of images formed will be 1 complete image

n=360/225

n=1.6 (The number of complete images formed will be 1 whether the object is placed symmetrically or asymmetrically)
