It reflects off it.

If the surface is smooth you get an orderly reflection,

if rough then a random scatter of light.

What happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?

When a ray of light hits a mirror, it gets reflected off the mirror's surface at the same angle that it approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the reflected ray leaves the mirror).
