If the mirrors are exactly parallel - there will be an infinite number of images, as they will be reflected indefinitely.

How many images of a candle will be formed if it is is placed between two parallel mirrors separated by 40 cm?

In theory, there should be an infinite number. In practice, though, the quality of the mirrors - the reflective surfaces as well as the glass in front of them - will reduce that number. The separation between the mirrors will also play a role by dispersing light as it bounces back and forth between the mirrors.


How many images will be formed when a candle is placed between two plane mirrors at 40 cm's apart?

The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors. The distance between the mirrors does not, in theory, make any difference. If the angle between the mirrors is x degrees, then the theoretical number of images is (360/x)- 1 which is rounded down. In practice, minor defects in the mirrors, refraction, total internal refraction, absorptions, scattering etc will reduce the number of images.The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors.

Why were many temples constructed between 800-1200 ad?

Many larger-than-life stone images of these spirits were made during Asoka's reign. Outstanding bronzes were made in the Chola period (800-1200).


When two halves are mirror images they have what symmetry?

They have axial symmetry.


What is the symmetry shown by objects if there is one line that divides th object into halves that are mirror images?

If they are completely mirror images, then it would be Perfect Symmetry, as long as both pieces are congruent.

When an object is placed between two parallel mirrors the number of images formed will be?

Infinite.


Why infinite images formed if a candle is placed between two parallel mirrors?

Because - if the mirrors are exactly parallel - they will reflect each others image indefinitely.


How many images of a candle will be formed if it is placed between parallel plane mirrors separated by 40 cm?

in my opinion only 2 images will be formed because the mirror is parallel and the candle between the mirror will stop the reflection.


How many images were formed by two parallel plane mirrors?

Why do you see many images of your self when you stand between two parallel mirrors?

when we stand between two parallel mirrors the first one reflects us and the second one reflects the first mirror this is why we see many images of our self when you stand between two parallel mirrors.


How many images formed when two mirrors are parallel?

When two mirrors are parallel to each other, an infinite number of images are formed due to the multiple reflections of an object between the mirrors. Each reflection creates a new image that is a mirror image of the previous one.


How many images of a candle will be formed if it is placed between two parallel plane mirrors separated by 40 cm?

An infinite number of images of the candle will be formed as the light rays reflect back and forth between the two mirrors. Each successive image will be located at a distance of 40 cm from the previous one.

Would Images formed by curved mirrors will look identical to to the images formed by flat mirrors?

No. They will look different.


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.


What do you understand by multiple images?

a number of images that are formed if the object is placed between two mirrors at an angle. This is called multiple images.
