Question

Why do we see ourselves in the mirror?

Answer 1

When the light hits the surface on the mirror, some of the light bounces back and you get your reflection.

Answer 2

You can see yourself in a mirror because light rays bounce off its shiny surface. Light rays come from everything you can see, including yourself. You see things when the lightrays from them enter yours eyes. Some of the light rays that come from yourself strike the mirror. The mirror reflects the rays because it is very smooth. The rays come back to your and enter your eyes.
