It theory, there are an infinite number of images.

However, mirrors cannot be made perfectly smooth. Imperfections in the glass means it does not transmit light without any loss. These factors act in a compound fashion so that the number of images falls.

How you can see number of images formed by mirror?

As we place two mirrors inclined with each other then many images are formed. If @ is the angle of inclination then number of images is got by the formula [360/@] - 1 Hence as we place the two mirrors at right angles ie 90 degree then number of images will be 3 If both mirrors kept parallel facing each other then infinite images are formed.


How many images of a candle will be formed if it is placed between two parallel plane mirrors separated by 40 cm?

An infinite number of images of the candle will be formed as the light rays reflect back and forth between the two mirrors. Each successive image will be located at a distance of 40 cm from the previous one.


How many images are formed when two plane mirrors tilted an angle 72 degrees?

When two plane mirrors are tilted at an angle of 72 degrees, six images are formed. The first two images are the direct reflections from each mirror, and the remaining four images come from the multiple reflections between the mirrors.


How many images will be formed if two mirrors placed at 60 degree angle?

Three images will be formed when two mirrors are placed at a 60 degree angle. The multiple reflection of light rays creates these images due to the angle of reflection.


How many images do you see through a pair of parallel mirrors?

It's not infinite, it's finite, because the speed of light is finite. Actually, when you look at one of these mirrors, the number of images will increase continuously at the velocity "c", so you can accept that its limit is infinite, but in other hand it's finite because the speed of light "c" is finite, it's a physical "optical" paradox.

How many images do you think will be formed if an object is kept between two plane mirrors parallel to each other?

If the mirrors are exactly parallel - there will be an infinite number of images, as they will be reflected indefinitely.


How many images of a candle will be formed if it is placed between parallel plane mirrors separated by 40 cm?

in my opinion only 2 images will be formed because the mirror is parallel and the candle between the mirror will stop the reflection.

Why do you see many images of your self when you stand between two parallel mirrors?

when we stand between two parallel mirrors the first one reflects us and the second one reflects the first mirror this is why we see many images of our self when you stand between two parallel mirrors.

How many images formed when two mirrors are at a 30 degree angle?

To find out how many images are formed when plane mirrors are tilted at an angle, use the formula N=360/a-1 , wherein N is the number of images formed and a is the given angle. So in this case, N=360/30-1, will result to N=11 images formed.
