plane mirror
An image in a plane mirror is created by the light rays reflecting off the reflective surface of a mirror. The image is always virtual because the light rays remain parallel, meaning they never pass through a focal point. The image is actual size, inverted, and always virtual. When light strikes a plane mirror, the angle of incidence will always equal the angle of reflection.
it reflectes the light
A mirror interacts with light by exhibiting specular reflection. This means that a mirror will form an image, which is why one can see herself in a mirror.
The light then reflects off the mirror into the eyes.
Light will bounce off the surface of a polished mirror in the same angle of incidence, but the way you see it, it's as if the image formed behind the mirror surface.

Your question isn't really clear. In one interpretation - you don't get an image behind a good mirror, as good mirrors aren't transparent. As close to all light that hits the front of the mirror as to make no difference will be bounced back the way it came. Now, if you have a poor mirror, some light will actually continue through, and the image visible behind the mirror would be as if there was a window instead of a mirror - only a lot weaker.
In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.
When light shines onto an object viewed in a mirror, the rays are reflected into the eye. The rays come from a position behind the mirror. The image is the sane size as the object and the same distance from the mirror. In the image, left is right and right becomes left. The angle that the light gets pointed on to the mirror is the same as the angle that gets reflected of the mirror!
You see it when your image strikes light and the light bounces off you then off the mirror to your eyes.
No, an image formed in a mirror is unreal, because mirror reflects all the light rays off.
The light from an object falls on the mirror. If these rays were to be extended backwards then they would meet behind the mirror making the image also at the back of the mirror. We can't catch this image on the screen. The image looks smaller due to one of the laws of depth perception. This makes the image look even smaller.
light is needed to reflect an image off a mirror...no light no reflection

A reflecting telescope "Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image".
