Question 1 Report

A boy in a barber's shop sits between two parallel mirrors. The number of images observed by him will be
Answer Details
When a person sits between two parallel mirrors, the mirrors reflect the person's image back and forth between them. Each reflection of the person's image is itself reflected in the other mirror, creating an infinite number of images. This happens because the light from the person's image bounces back and forth between the mirrors, with each bounce creating a new reflection. Although the person can only see a limited number of reflections, the light continues to bounce back and forth, creating an infinite number of images. Therefore, the correct answer is "Infinite."
