Expert Answer
Let θ be the angle between mirror , then number n of images is
if ( 360 / θ ) is even then n = ( 360 / θ ) - 1
if ( 360 / θ ) is odd and object is placed symmetrically then n = ( 360 / θ ) - 1
if ( 360 / θ ) is odd and object is not placed symmetrically then n = ( 360 / θ )
------------------------------------------------------
case (1) , object is placed symmetrically , i.e. object is on anglular bisector
θ = 40° , ( 360 / 40 ) = 9 , odd number , hence numver of images n = 9-1 = 8
-----------------------------------------------------------
case (2) , object is not placed symmetrically , i.e. object is not on anglular bisector
θ = 40° , ( 360 / 40 ) = 9 , hence numver of images n = 9
