Your reflection of has nothing to do with it. Light is a mass and reflects off of everything, mirrors redirect the light because they don't absorb it at all.
When light reflects off a mirror, it follows the law of reflection which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that only light rays that reflect at the correct angle to reach your eyes will be visible to you, resulting in a portion of the area behind you being visible in the mirror.
A convex mirror does not refract light; it reflects it. When an incident ray strikes a convex mirror, it reflects back in a way that obeys the law of reflection—angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. This creates a virtual image that appears behind the mirror.
A plane mirror is a flat, smooth surface that reflects light in a way that the angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing light). This creates a virtual image that appears to be the same size and distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
You want a torch to emit light in a beam, in only one direction. But the bulb in the torch emits light in all directions, the mirror reflects the light going in the wrong direction(towards the inside of the torch) back out the front of the torch making it brighter. It is concave so as to focus the light more.
A plane mirror reflects light with specular reflection, creating an image that is laterally inverted but the same size as the object. It has a smooth and flat surface, and the image appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.

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.

A dog's eyes reflect green due to a layer of cells called tapetum lucidum behind their retina, which helps them see better in low light. This layer reflects light, giving their eyes a greenish glow.

When you view an image behind a mirror from a certain angle, the mirror reflects the light that hits it, including the light that carries the image, back to your eyes, creating the illusion that the image is behind the mirror. This is possible due to the reflection of light off the mirror's surface.
The different types of nebulae include emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, and dark nebulae. Emission nebulae are clouds of gas and dust that emit light, reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, and dark nebulae are dense clouds of dust that block the light from behind them.
Flat mirrors reflect light with the angle of incidence equaling the angle of reflection, as described by the law of reflection. This causes light rays to bounce off the mirror and create virtual images that appear behind the mirror. The size and orientation of the reflected image are identical to the original object.
The reflection of an object in a mirror is called a virtual image. This image appears to be behind the mirror, but it is not a physical object.
Things appear backwards in the mirror because mirrors reflect light waves. When you look in a mirror, the reflection appears reversed because the mirror is reflecting the image as if it were behind the mirror rather than in front of it.
