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 .

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.
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.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
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.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.

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.
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
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
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...
Abhyas is good institution and a innovative institute also. It is a good platform of beginners.Due to Abhyas,he has got knoweledge about reasoning and confidence.My son has improved his vocabulary because of Abhyas.Teacher have very friendly atmosphere also.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
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.
