I guess it is because of preception.... if your standing about a metre away from the mirror... it will appear your reflection is a metre behind the mirror

Where does your image appear to be when you look into a plane mirror?
It's a virtual reflection of the object which appears as an image as much behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front.
How would the eye perceive an image created by a concave mirror and by a convex mirror?
A concave mirror will focus an image and make it appear smaller. A convex mirror will disperse an image and make it appear larger.
When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?
Convex
Where does your image appear when you look in a mirror?
The image location is where the observer is sighting when viewing the image.
Where is your image when you look in a plane mirror?
behind you
What distance from the mirror does an image in a plane mirror appear to be?
Same distance behind mirror.
Where does your image appear to be when you look into a plane mirror?
It's a virtual reflection of the object which appears as an image as much behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front.
What will be the speed of image if object moves towards plain mirror?
The same speed: the image will always appear to be at a point exactly behind the mirror as the object is in front.
If a student stand 2m behind a plane mirror how far is the image?
Since the mirror reflects the image in front of it, the apparent distance of oneself standing in the mirror will be twice as far as the distance from you to the mirror. If you are standing 2 meters from the mirror, the image will appear as 4 meters away.

The image you see in a plane mirror appears to be at what distance?
behind the mirror. The object appears to be behind the mirror
What kind of image appear behind mirrors?
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.
When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?
Convex
Where does a virtual image appear?
inside a mirror
Why do objects in the rear view mirror appear closer than they are?
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.
