∴ We can see in this way from the figure that the distance between any two images can never be (3 L /2). <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/153464d98da805eae89db7639eacd59a-.png" />

Q. Two plane mirrors are placed parallel to each other at a distance $L$ apart. A point object $O$ placed between them, at a distance $L /3$ from one mirror. Both mirrors form multiple images. The distance between any two images cannot be

$\frac{3 L}{2}$

$\frac{2 L}{3}$

$3 L$

$L$

$∴$ We can see in this way from the figure that the distance between any two images can never be $\frac{3 L}{2}$ .

23L​

32L​

3L

L

∴ We can see in this way from the figure that the distance between any two images can never be 23L​.
