Question
What will be the number of images formed when an object is placed between two parallel plane mirrors facing each other?

Answer

Infinite number of images are formed when an object is placed between two parallel plane mirrors facing each other. The object undergoes multiple reflection to produce image of the distant object. The distance between the mirror and the object is inconsiderable in formation of infinite images. No matter how much the distance be, number of images formed will be infinite.
