Why the formula for finding the number of images formed when two plane mirrors are inclined at angle theta is having -1 if the number of images will come even. {360÷theta=X(even) -1} Please can you tell me why there is -1 if the number of images comes even.

if you observe , the number of images formed is equal to the number of reflections done by the two rays each moving to the different mirrors which can never be even
