The reflection of light from surface of a mirror makes it shining. When the light passes through glass, it does not shine. When one side of this glass is covered by a substance that does not allow light to pass through, the light gets reflected and it shines.

How do mirrors reflect light?

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!
