⠀⠀⠀⠀▦ Note

What is reflection of light?

The reflection of light is the phenomenon in which the rays of light falls on the object and change it's path.

⠀

How image is formed in plane mirror?

When you look at the mirror the image is formed behind the mirror and it is virtual. The light from the object which reaches the mirror gets reflected back.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Solution

The formula to find the no. of images between the 2 plane mirror at any angle θ.

`\sf No. \: of \: images = (360 \degree)/( \theta) - 1`

According to the question the plane mirror is inclined at 60° angle.

Substituting the required values.

`\sf \large \frac{ \cancel{360} \small \: \: 6}{ \cancel{60}} - 1 \\ \\ \sf \large 6 - 1 \\ \\ \boxed{ \frak{ \implies 5} }`

The 2 plane mirror will form 5 images inclined at 60° angle.
