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.

How many images are formed when two plane mirrior are arranged parallel?

infinite number of images are formed in both the mirrors if the mirrors are kept parallel


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 were formed by two parallel plane mirrors?

Infinite


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.


When an object is placed between two parallel mirrors the number of images formed will be?

Infinite.


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 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 are formed when two mirrors are kept facing each other?

Due to multiple reflection!


Would Images formed by curved mirrors will look identical to to the images formed by flat mirrors?

No. They will look different.

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.


How many images formed when two mirrors are parallel?

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.
