Virtual images.
With two mirrors at right angles you will have 3 (360/90 - 1) images of an object. Two of these are primary and the third is secondary. Some light rays from the object bounce of each of the mirrors to your eye to form the two primary images. But there are other rays that bounce off a mirror onto the second mirror before they get to you. This produced the secondary image.
Very many. The glass of real mirrors is not perfectly clear and the reflective coating of real mirrors is not perfectly reflective so the images dim. But is not hard to get 50 or more spots of light when shining a laser pointer into such a mirror configuration. ------------------------------------------------------------ Edit: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.
When two mirrors face each other at a specific angle, they create a series of multiple reflections known as an infinite mirror effect. This effect occurs due to the reflection of light bouncing back and forth between the two mirrors. Each reflection appears slightly smaller and dimmer due to the loss of light with each bounce, creating a mesmerizing visual illusion of seemingly endless reflections.
When two lines are perpendicular to each other such as L a right angle is formed which is 90 degrees.

Virtual images.
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.
If 2 mirrors are placed perpendicular to each other then infinite no of images will be formed because image formed by one mirror will act as the object for the other and vice verse.
If the mirrors are exactly parallel - there will be an infinite number of images, as they will be reflected indefinitely.
To determine the number of images formed by a mirror, you need to consider the distance of the object from the mirror and the type of mirror (concave or convex). For a plane mirror, only one image is formed which is virtual and upright. For concave and convex mirrors, the number of images formed can vary depending on the position of the object relative to the focal point, center of curvature, and the mirror's surface.
Due to multiple reflection!

When two mirrors are parallel to each other, an infinite number of images are formed due to the multiple reflections of an object between the mirrors. Each reflection creates a new image that is a mirror image of the previous one.
In theory, there should be infinitely many images. In practice, though, imperfections in the mirrors, diffusion in glass and the air gap between the mirrors mean that there are not infinitely many images.
The number of images of an object placed between two mirrors inclined at an angle is give by:Number of images= (360/ angle of inclination)-1
When a point P is placed between two perpendicular mirrors, the first image is formed by one mirror, and the second image is formed by the other mirror. The third image is the reflection of the second image on the first mirror. To locate the images, draw the path of light rays reflecting off each mirror. The images of P will appear symmetrically around the point of intersection of the two mirrors.
