Because a mirror is completely flat. This means that light rays bounce off all in the same direction. If some thing is not completely flat then the light rays will bounce off in all different directions. I know that that sounds complicated but it's a hard thing to explain without using all the scientific jargon. Ok... for example, you know those wierd mirrors you get a fairgrounds where they make you look really thin, fat, short, or tall? Well, they are very flat, but curved. It rearranges the pattern of light bouncing of whatever you are looking at in it so that what you see is distorted. On a normal mirror, it is the same but the pattern is reflected back off in exactly the same way it was reflected on so you see the same thing just in reverse. I hope that answered your question without too much confusion. :)
What else can I help you with?
How is a bedroom mirror used to see images?
A bedroom mirror is used to reflect light off objects placed in front of it, allowing you to see a reflected image of those objects. When you look into the mirror, the light bounces off the objects in front of it and enters your eyes, creating the illusion that you are seeing those objects in the mirror.
What is the image you see in a mirror?
An image in a mirror is a reflection of the objects or people in front of it. The mirror reflects light rays that bounce off the objects, creating a reversed and virtual representation of the scene.
What can you see through a mirror?
You can see reflections of objects and people that are in front of or around the mirror. Mirrors reflect light, allowing you to see an image of yourself or whatever is in front of them.
How can you use a mirror to see around the corner?
You can place a mirror at an angle where it reflects the view of what is around the corner. By positioning the mirror correctly, you can look into the mirror to see objects or people that are not directly visible from your point of view.
What does it mean when you can see something in the convex mirror attached to an outside mirror but not the flat mirror?
A convex mirror on an outside car mirror provides a wider field of view but can distort the image, making objects appear smaller and farther than they actually are. This can allow you to see objects that may be in your blind spot but are not visible in a flat mirror due to its narrower field of view.
Explain why you can you see objects in a mirror?
You can see objects in a mirror because it reflects light off of the objects and into your eyes. This reflection creates a virtual image of the object that appears to be behind the mirror's surface.

How we can see different image of objects on the same part of the mirror when we see from different angle?

How do we see around corners using a mirror?
To see around corners using a mirror, place the mirror at a right angle to the corner so that it reflects the view of what's around the corner. This allows you to view objects or people that are not in your direct line of sight by looking into the mirror. The mirror essentially acts as a tool to bounce light from the objects around the corner into your line of sight.
Does a mirror reflect?
Yes, a mirror reflects light by preserving the image of objects placed in front of it. This reflection allows us to see our own image when we look at a mirror.
Why can you not see through a mirror?
You cannot see through a mirror because it reflects light, rather than allowing light to pass through it. The reflective surface of the mirror bounces light off of objects, creating the image you see when you look at it.
How does the angle of reflection of light affect how you hold a mirror to see behind you?
The angle of reflection of light dictates the direction in which light bounces off the mirror. To see behind you, hold the mirror at an angle that allows reflected light to reach your eyes, enabling you to see objects in the mirror. Adjust the mirror's angle until you can clearly see the desired area behind you.
What we see in a plane mirror?
In a plane mirror, we see a reflection of ourselves or objects placed in front of it. The image formed in a plane mirror is virtual, meaning it cannot be projected onto a screen. The reflection appears to be the same size and distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
