Solution
Infinite images are not seen when two plane mirrors are facing each other because:
- After every successive reflection, some amount of light energy is absorbed. Thus luminosity of the image goes on decreasing, till they are no longer visible.
- As the distance of images from the eye goes on increasing, it is unable to resolve far off images.
