The number of images that will be formed if an object is placed between two mirrors placed parallel to each other.

Have you ever wondered how many images will be formed if you stand between two mirrors?

An infinite number of images are formed of an object placed between two parallel mirrors. The positions of the images may be found by the usual construction, remembering that each image seen in one mirror will act as a virtual object and produce an image in the other mirror.

Two parallel plane mirrors should be set up to examine the images of a candle or other object placed between them. The more remote images, the fainter they become, since some of the light energy is absorbed by the mirrors at each successive reflection.
