Take two plane mirrors. Set them at right angles to each other with their edges touching. To hinge them you can use adhesive tape. Place a coin in between the mirrors. How many images of the coin do you see?
Images in plane mirror at right angle to each other
Now hinge the mirrors using the adhesive tape at different angles, say 45º, 60º, 120º, 180º, etc. Place some object (say a candle) in between them. Note down the number of images of the object in each case. Finally, set the two mirrors parallel to each other. Find out how many images of a candle placed between them are formed.
Image in plane mirror parallel to each other
When two plane mirrors are linked at right angles, then are generated.

is/are created when two plane mirrors are joined at a \(120°\) angle.
is/are created by joining two plane mirrors at \(180°\) angle.
are created when two plane mirrors are parallel to one another.
