A typical household- or pocket-mirror is made of a thin layer of metal deposited
on one side of a sheet of glass. Electrically, the metal is a good conductor and
the glass is not. This could be a big part of the reason that you seldom find a
mirror used as a component in an electrical circuit.

∙ 11y agoTo understand how a mirror functions, you need to understand how the eye works. In simple terms, the eye detects light and transfers the information to the brain, at which point the brain interprets the signal into the perception of objects.
When you look at an object, what you are really seeing is the reflection of light that is not absorbed by the object.
A mirror is simply an object that reflects light in a way that does not distort the light or very little distortion occurs.
ANSWER PART:Water, metal, glass and plastic all can be mirrors. Some of those substances are electrical conductors (water and metal) while others are electrical insulators (glass and plastic).Wiki User
