How many images will be formed when an object is placed between two parallel plane mirrors with their reflecting surfaces facing each other? Why do more distant images appear fainter?

उत्तर
Angle between two mirrors facing each other = θ = 0°
No. of. images formed = n = `360^circ/theta = 360^circ/0 = ∞`
So, infinite number of images are formed when an object is placed between two parallel plane mirrors with their reflecting surfaces facing each other.
More distant images appear fainter when two plane mirror with their reflecting surfaces facing each other because,
After every successive reflection, some amount of light energy is absorbed. Thus luminosity of images goes on decreasing and hence they appear fainter.
