A real image is formed when light rays coming from a point* after reflection meet at a point.
Light rays coming from a point are always diverging, so after reflection by a plane mirror also they remain diverging and never meet. We need to use an optical device that can converge the rays to get a real image.
* Its strictly a point not an extended object.
Plane mirrors and convex mirrors are unable to form real images because they do not converge reflected light to a point. In a plane mirror, the reflected rays stay parallel, while in a convex mirror, the reflected rays diverge. This divergence or parallelism prevents the formation of a real image, which is the convergence of light rays to a point.
Plane mirrors do not focus light rays because they have a flat surface that reflects light without changing its direction. Unlike concave or convex mirrors, which have curved surfaces that can converge or diverge light rays to form an image, plane mirrors only produce virtual images that appear to be behind the mirror at the same size and distance as the object.
Surfaces that are smooth and reflective, such as mirrors or water surfaces, can form clear images of objects. Additionally, curved surfaces like lenses or spherical mirrors can also create focused images of objects.
Plane mirrors form images of objects because they reflect light rays in a way that the reflected rays appear to originate from behind the mirror. This creates a virtual image that is the same size and distance as the object but appears reversed left to right.
Real images produced by concave mirrors are inverted, while those produced by convex mirrors are typically upright. This occurs because light rays converge to form the real image in concave mirrors, resulting in an inversion of the image.
They cannot make light rays converge.

images are formed in a mirror by putting something up to it.

In 'a' plane mirror only 'one' image is formed.
Plane mirrors form images of objects because they reflect light rays in a way that the reflected rays appear to originate from behind the mirror. This creates a virtual image that is the same size and distance as the object but appears reversed left to right.
the image will be Unreal. Concave mirrors form a real and inverted image where in tn convex mirrors the images are unreal.
Concave mirrors and convex mirrors are two types of curved mirrors. Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point and can form real or virtual images. Convex mirrors diverge light rays and produce virtual, upright, and diminished images.
If you have 2 mirrors with the opposite angel of elevation and depression of each other.
Real images produced by concave mirrors are inverted, while those produced by convex mirrors are typically upright. This occurs because light rays converge to form the real image in concave mirrors, resulting in an inversion of the image.
