incident Ray comes to the mirror it reflects in the perpendicular distance from that mirror to the
another mirror and comes with the same angle. This is one of the main reasons of multiple
reflections.
When two mirrors are parallel to each other, the number of reflections is infinite.
The remaining images are produced as the result of multiple reflections of light off
more than one of the faces. Right angle mirrors will allow a maximum of
two reflections of light from the object. But as the angle decreases, three, four, and
even more reflections can occur.
Multiple images are the images that are formed when two or more mirrors are
placed in front of each other and an object is placed between them.
What happens is at each reflection, the incident ray of light falling on either of mirrors gets
absorbed. Its intensity keeps on decreasing after every succession reflection.
The shade becomes noticeable when two mirrors are placed in front of each other,
creating the seemingly infinite number of reflections known as a mirror tunnel. As
light bounces back and forth from one mirror to the next, the mirror's reflective
capabilities gradually weaken.
A mirror image is the result of light rays bounding off a reflective surface. When
people look into a mirror, they see an image of themselves behind the glass. That
image results from light rays encountering the shiny surface and bouncing back,
or reflecting, providing a "mirror image."
TO BE WRITTEN:-
Multiple reflection of light is the reflection of light back and forth several times between
reflecting surfaces.
