When the light passes from air throguh the glass prism,if the angle of incident is greater than 42,which is the critical angle of the glass prism,total internal reflection occurs.When the angle is smaller than 42,there are both refracted and reflected light,so there are also mutiple images.

For ordinary plane mirror,there is a silvery coating on the mirror(slightly diffrent on the above diagram).When the light from the ball passes through the glass,it is refracted as shown above,in other words,the light is refracted by the silvery coating and thus form mutiple images.However,the formation of mutiple images by prism is better because the light is not refracted by the silver,this is the only possible reason

There is no silvery coating on the prism!
