We know that plane mirror reflects light falling on it. This reflected ray can act as incident ray for another mirror. This process of reflection of light several times between reflecting surfaces is known as Multiple reflection of light.
Mirrors Placed At An Angle: In case of multiple reflections the ray that is incident on one mirror after getting reflected at more that one mirror bounces back in the same medium. Applying the laws of reflection we can calculate the angle at which it will bounce back.
Illustration: Two mirrors are inclined at an angle of 1200 . A ray is incident on mirror M1 at an angle of 650 to the normal. Find the direction of the ray after it is reflected from mirror M2.
Solution: The diagram showing the arrangement of the mirrors is as follows:
At mirror M1 the incident ray makes an angle of 650 with the normal. So,
Angle of incidence i = 650
According to the laws of reflection angle of reflection r = 650
As the normal makes an angle of 900 with the surface of the mirror
So the reflected ray makes an angle of = 900 - 650 = 250 with the surface of the mirror M1
The reflected ray forms a triangle AOB with the two mirror surfaces,
Now
From angle sum property of triangle AOB
The first reflected ray is incident on mirror M2 and makes an angle of 350 with the surface of the mirror
The incident ray makes angle of = 900 - 350 = 550 with the normal to the surface of the mirror M2
Now angle of incidence for mirror M2 = 550
According to the laws of reflection angle of reflection r = 550
Hence the second reflected ray makes an angle of 550 with the normal to the surface of the mirror M2
The number of images formed by two plane mirrors depends on the angle between them. If two plane mirrors are placed at an angle of X degree, then the number of images formed (n) is given by the formula
Formula to find number of images formed when two mirrors are placed side by side
Illustration: Find the number of images formed when angle between two mirrors is .
Solution: By using formula we get
which means only one image is formed .
Illustration: Find the number of images formed when angle between two mirrors is .

When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
We started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
Abhyas is an institute of high repute. Yogansh has taken admission last year. It creates abilities in child to prepare for competitive exams. Students are motivated by living prizes on basis of performance in Abhyas exams. He is satisfied with institute.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
My experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
In terms of methodology I want to say that institute provides expert guidence and results oriented monitering supplements by requsite study material along with regular tests which help the students to improve their education skills.The techniques of providing education helps the students to asses...
The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
Usually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Abhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
