Two plane mirrors are inclined at an angle of 20° to each other. Determine the number of images formed when an object is placed between them.

a.

17

b.

18

c.

19

d.

20

Correct answer: A

The number of images formed by two mirrors inclined at an angle θθ is 360θ1\frac{360}{θ}-1. When the mirrors are inclined at 20°20° to each other, 360201=17\frac{360}{20} - 1 = 17 images will be formed.
