Why are multiple images formed when two mirrors are placed at right angles to each other?

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.

What do you understand by multiple images?
a number of images that are formed if the object is placed between two mirrors at an angle. This is called multiple images.

When two plane mirrors are placed at an angle of 60 degrees to each other the images formed are?
Virtual images.
Can the image formed by a plain mirror be obtained on a screen?
Plane mirrors do not create images that can be placed on a screen, only concave mirrors can.

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.
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.
