Fixed numbers, added reference, mentioned commenter
Sep 14, 2017 at 11:13 comment added Jan Hudec IIRC reflection from glass surface is around 4%. So the ghost before and the first after are around 4% of the main reflection and then each is 96% dimmer.

Sep 11, 2017 at 19:27 comment added David Starkey Note that this is similar to how Rearview Mirrors work when they are altered for bright lights.
Sep 11, 2017 at 10:58 comment added Ole Tange OP: Try turning off the light: Do you see the 3rd ghost? Change the angle, so the light passes through more or less glass, and see if the distance between the ghosts change, too.
