Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Physics - 2014 (Objective) Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

An object is placed in front of two plane mirrors inclined at 60o to each other. Determine the number of the images formed
Answer Details
When an object is placed in front of two plane mirrors inclined at an angle to each other, multiple images are formed. The number of images formed can be determined using the formula: N = 360o / θ - 1 where N is the number of images formed and θ is the angle between the mirrors. In this case, the angle between the mirrors is 60o, so: N = 360o / 60o - 1 N = 6 - 1 N = 5 Therefore, the number of images formed is 5. So, the correct option is (c) 5.
