How mirror was discovered?
Ancient humans discovered that they could see their reflections in shiny metal. They began to polish metal disks on purpose and make mirrors. This was the sort of mirror people had for thousands of years until they learned how to make glass. Then, scientists learned to coat the back of a piece of glass with silver to make an even better reflection.
The difference between lens and mirror?
In lens light passes right through the glass and reaches the other side. In the case of mirror the light hits the glass and instead of passing through to the other side of the glass it gets reflected back. This is because of the silver coating on one side of the glass.
Why can you see your image reflected in a mirror but not in a brick wall?
There are several aspects of matter and light, as well as the composition of minerals that make up brick and glass respectively, that can explain the reason for reflectivity. However, all complex explanations set aside, it all comes down to one fundamental concept: a brick wall, is not a mirror.

What type of glass is on a mirror?
You can use any kind of glass to make a mirror - clear or colored, soda-lime or borosilicate, float glass or blown glass. Most mirrors are made out of float glass (standard window glass) coated with a layer of silver. The silver is protected by a layer of paint. Some manufacturers add a layer of copper between the silver and the paint to protect the silver from tarnishing. White metals like silver and aluminum reflect all the colors of light. You can also make a mirror with other metals, such as gold, copper or lead sulfide. Some telescopes and dental mirror are made with a layer of aluminum "sputtered" onto the front of the glass. You can see yourself in a mirror because the light rays that bounce off your face (or any object) bounce back to your eye when they hit the layer of metal instead of passing through as they do with transparent glass.
Why is the inside of a mirror green?

If it's just the glass, most glass intaller companies can make you a new glass for the mirror for around $15-$25 and glue it back on. If it is the mount where the mirror is attached to the car itself, try visiting your local junk/salvage yard. For a manual mirror expect to pay between $10-$30, for an electric mirror, and or heated mirror, expect to pay around $50-150.
What can you make with a cracked mirror?
There isn't much you can make with a mirror that is cracked. Depends on the size of the mirror and the crack, but you could cut the mirror with a glass cutter and make a new mirror out of the old one. Cut the best part out and frame it as a new mirror.
