In theory, there should be an infinite number. In practice, though, the quality of the mirrors - the reflective surfaces as well as the glass in front of them - will reduce that number.
The separation between the mirrors will also play a role by dispersing light as it bounces back and forth between the mirrors.

How many images will be formed when a candle is placed between two plane mirrors at 40 cm's apart?
The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors. The distance between the mirrors does not, in theory, make any difference. If the angle between the mirrors is x degrees, then the theoretical number of images is (360/x)- 1 which is rounded down. In practice, minor defects in the mirrors, refraction, total internal refraction, absorptions, scattering etc will reduce the number of images.The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors.

I made a recipe for 144 fl oz of scented candle wax. how many 1-cup candle molds can she fill with the recipe?
She can fill 18.
MathWhich of the following does the situation below best describe The height of a candle depends on the amount of time the candle has been burning.?
It represents, approximately, a linear relationship with a negative gradient.

How many images of a candle will be formed if it is placed between two parallel plane mirrors separated by 40 cm?
four
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 infinite images formed if a candle is placed between two parallel mirrors?
Because - if the mirrors are exactly parallel - they will reflect each others image indefinitely.
How many images of a candle will be formed if it is placed between two parallel plain mirrors separated by 40 cm?
It theory, infinitely many. In reality, probably not more than 20. At each reflection, the quality of the image will deteriorate due to minor flaws in the mirror, total internal refraction, absorption by dust particles. In theory, the separation makes no difference.
What is a Yablochkov candle?
A Yablochkov candle is an early type of arc lamp invented by the Russian electrical engineer Pavel Yablochkov in the 1870s. It consists of two parallel carbon rods separated by an insulating material, which creates an electric arc when connected to a power source. Yablochkov candles were used for street lighting before incandescent bulbs became more common.
How can one of the rooms be lit by a single candle at the Amber Fort?
because of all the intricate mirrors that are put in the room, when you light the candle, the mirrors would just keep reflecting light of each other thus creating a bright room

Is a mirror a source of light?
No. In a room with any number of mirrors of any size, when you switch off the light or blow out the candle, the room becomes just as dark as a room without mirrors.

How one of the rooms be lit at night by a single candle in amber fort?
when at night somebody passed by the rooms with a single candle on hand, the thousand reflection on the mirrors would lit up the whole room
Is it possible to light a candle using mirrors and sunlight?
Possibly. The mirrors would have to be used to reflect the light onto a small space. A better way would be to use a magnifying glass; I remember doing this when I was younger.
How many images of a candle will be formed if it is placed between two parallel?
Parralel means that there are two striaght lines that will never meet, so if there is already one then you should just guess that there would be two candles. Smart. * * * * * No not smart. At best, ignorant. In theory there should be an infinite number though in reality the number will be reduced by dispersion, defraction and absorption. The reflecting surfaces will not be perfect and so some light will be reflected away, the glasses and air gap between the mirrors will defract and disperse some of the light. Tens of images are quite feasible with reasonable mirrors. Certainly a lot more than suggested in the original answer.
