उत्तर
If two mirrors make an angle with each other and object is placed in between the two mirrors, the number of images formed is n or (n - 1) depending upon n = 360o / o is odd or even.
(a) If n = 360o / o is odd,
(i) The number of images formed is n, when the object is placed asymmetrically between the mirrors.
(ii) The number of images formed is n-1, when the object is placed symmetrically between the mirrors.
(b) If n = 360o / o is even, the number of images is always n-1.
