When you place an object between two hinged mirrors, light from the object will reflect and bounce between the mirrors before it reaches your eyes. The number of images you see depends on the angle that the mirrors form as you make the angle smaller, you will see more images.

Q3) How do mirrors produce funny images?
Virtual images are images that are formed which are formed in locations where light does not reach. We are hit by particles called photons and when reflected, the mirrors bounces baack the particles. Some surfaces absorb it when it is not smooth so the smoothness of an objects affects the different images it can produce.
