rear view mirror ha a wedged shaped glass (unlike rectangular in normal

mirrors) and a reflecting surface. in day time the rear surface of the

glass is along the reflective surface, hence we see normal reflection.

during the night time, in anti glare mode, we tilt only the reflecting surface and not the glass so that the rear surface of the glass leaves

the reflecting surface. light rays striking the front surface of the

glass gets reflected as well as refracted. the partly reflected rays

shows us the rear view which is now of reduced intensity. the refracted

ray gets reflected by the reflecting surface but do not meet the eyes.

The reflected rays coming from the reflecting surface and meeting the eyes are now from the car's ceiling. the

reflection of the ceiling may repress the rear view if the ceiling is

lighted.
