With the aid of a ray diagram, explain how a thick plane mirror forms multiple images of an object

When an object is observed through a thick mirror, silvered at its back, a large number of images are obtained.

Out of all the images, the second image is the brightest because the first image is formed by reflection at the first unsilvered surface, while the second image is formed by reflection by the silvered surface. Then others by multiple internal reflection inside the glass.
