Homework Statement
#1) How many images can be seen? 2 mirrors, one on x axis, other y axis.
Homework Equations
Law of reflection: [tex]\vartheta[/tex]i=[tex]\vartheta[/tex]r
Is the positioning correct? I thought that rays bounce off the x-axis mirror then y-axis mirror to give 2 images. The third image came from bouncing off the y-axis mirror only. The teacher wanted us to work it out and told us that the answer is 3 but we had to find the position.

#2) Whats the minimum length(h) of a mirror that is needed for a person of height(H) to see his entire reflection? Answer: h=H/2
Homework Equations
|m|= |H/h| <= magnification equation needed?
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure how to start. Professor said that the distance between the person and mirror doesn't matter. Someone point me in right direction
