1)How many images would you get for an object that is placed between two mirrors placed at an angle less than 90(degrees)?






when a mirror is places less than 90 degrees, the number of images form is more than two. Because, as the angle is getting smaller, more images are being formed.






2) What happens to the images of this angle is it is bigger than 90(degrees)?





when you place a mirror at an angle of bigger then 90 degrees, you may get lesser than two images. Because, as the angle is getting wider, it will not reflect as much as the angle of lesser than 90 degrees.





3)how do mirrors produce funny images?


Most mirrorsbend over time top to bottom. If seen from the side, there is a slightcurvature in the edge. The top and bottom edges are usually straight. If the center bulges out alittle bit, your height will appear slightly smaller but your width will notbe changed. This can make a person look a little fat. If the center bendsback a little, then you can look a little taller without looking any wider.Mirrors can bend along other axes, but the one described is most likely.
