Solution
Images formed by two parallel mirrors.
When an object is placed between two parallel plane mirrors, each picture becomes the object of another mirror, resulting in an unlimited number of images.
As a result, if a candle is placed between two parallel mirrors, infinite images are formed.

Therefore, infinite images of the candle are produced by the two parallel mirrors.
