How does a Mirror Work?

A mirror is a glass with a coating at its back. When we look into a mirror, light rays from us go and strike it. The rays pass through the glass and are reflected from the coating. The light is reflected back by a flat mirror at the same angle as it strikes the mirror. This makes an image seen in a flat mirror appear to be the same size and shape as the object. But a mirror image is always reversed.
