Images formed between two mirrors at an angle

pkpaul26 · Mar 5, 2011

If two mirrors are placed at such an angle so that when 360 degree is divided by that angle the result is a fraction.then if an object is placed between the two mirrors how many images of that object will be formed?

Proof is needed.

hi pkpaul26! welcome to pf!

in other words, if the angle is p*360°/q ?

try it first with p/q =1/5, then 2/5, to see how it works
