Answer

(i) When an object is placed asymmetrically between two plane mirrors inclined at an angle of 50° to each other then

n=360°50°=7.2=7n = \dfrac{360°}{50°} \\[0.5em] = 7.2 \\[0.5em] = 7

(ii) The number of images formed when the object is placed symmetrically is n-1,

Hence,

7 - 1 = 6.

Therefore, 6 images will be formed when the object is placed symmetrically, between two plane mirrors inclined at an angle of 50°.
