Depending on the angle between them, you will get multiple reflections of any object between the mirrors.

If the mirrors meet at an angle of x degrees, an object placed between them should generate a maximum of (360/n) - 1 images. Parallel mirrors should, on that basis, produce an infinite number of images but because of microscopic flaws in the mirror, absorption, internal refraction etc, the images will degrade more or less exponentially.

Yes


How many images formed when two mirrors are at a 30 degree angle?

To find out how many images are formed when plane mirrors are tilted at an angle, use the formula N=360/a-1 , wherein N is the number of images formed and a is the given angle. So in this case, N=360/30-1, will result to N=11 images formed.


How many images formed when two mirrors are at 45 degree angle?

Use the formula [360/@]-1@ is the angle of inclination of the two mirrors.Suppose we keep the two mirrors in the same line, then @ = 180So there will be only one image.If suppose we keep two mirrors parallel to each other, then @ = 0 so infinite images.Now in your case @ = 45So 7 images will be seen.


Why is it undesireable to place dressing mirrors at right angles to each other in toilets?

It is not common practice due to the fact that if mirrors are placed at right angles someone else could be looking at your privates from another angle which could be uncomfortable to you or the other person. in other words for basic privacy reasons.


What are mirrors called nosey neighbor?

The nosey neighbor mirror is used to look into the neighbor's window from your window. It was used in row houses. It is two mirrors attached outside your window frame at an angle so that one mirror reflects what is in the other mirror.


How is the Law of reflection used in everyday life and in science?

The Law of Reflection is not only used in everyday life, but it can be used in pool. when you want to get the ball n the hole you can bounce it off of the edge as the "mirror". it is used everywhere as long as there is light and a mirror. It basically states that the angle of incidence should be the same as the angle of reflection. For example, your reflection. When you see it on an angle, your reflection is on an angle aswell, just on the other side of the normal (the 90 degrees line). You see it at exactly the same angle as the angle you are looking into the mirror at. It's used in science because it explains how light reflects off mirrors and how reflection occurs off convex and concave mirrors aswell.


How you can see number of images formed by mirror?

As we place two mirrors inclined with each other then many images are formed. If @ is the angle of inclination then number of images is got by the formula [360/@] - 1 Hence as we place the two mirrors at right angles ie 90 degree then number of images will be 3 If both mirrors kept parallel facing each other then infinite images are formed.
