"When an ordinary object is placed in front of a plane mirror, it is sending light rays out from itself in all directions, either by emission or by reflection"..
See the reference

The reflection of light from a plane mirror can be summarised by the following laws:
1. The angle of incidence (i) is equal to the angle of reflection (r)
2. The incident ray, reflected ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

The reflection from a plane (flat) mirror is shown in Figure 1. Not the normal line and the use of shading to represent the back of the mirror.

light enters the reflective plane and leaves it at exactly the mirrored angle in entered. That's why everything is backwards when you look at the "world" in the mirror.

wow light is cool! and its what your eyes see. crazzy huh? you not seeing the table, but your seeing the light reflected from the table! there for every thing is a mirror! except not every thing reflects the same colors(feq). really makes me wonder when i touch something what im feeling. bouncy bouncy is the way of light when things get in the way! :P
