Question

A person is in a room whose ceiling and two adjacent walls are mirrors. How many images are formed

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Derived solution: Step 1: Use the law of reflection i = r and plane-mirror symmetry. The image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front; rotation of a mirror by φ rotates the reflected ray by 2φ. Step 2: Substitute the values given in the question and apply the geometry/sign convention shown. Step 3: On simplification the result is 7. Therefore the correct option is C.
