Technically yes. It's still a mirror whether you can see it or not.

No. Is a blue shirt still blue if it's invisible? A mirror is a "polished surface that forms images by reflecting light." The definition of mirror is that it reflects 99% of light and if it's invisible it reflects 0%. It's just so much glass with foil on the back if it's invisible.

I guess that depends on if your definition of a mirror prerequisites that you be able to see your reflection in it.
If yes, then no it isn't a mirror. it is an invisible mirror
If no, then yes it is a mirror.
Which leads to the next question...if it is invisible, then how do you know it is a mirror?

How would you know if it´s a mirror or anything else for that matter. Invisible is invisible!

I think yes. It would possibly be like a portal to another dimension. Cool. The mirror of your soul is your eyes. Often people look and don't see so it's the flip side. The opposite always exists even if we are not aware of it.

Would you get upset if I threw an invisible rock through your invisible mirror?

No, if it were invisible it wouldn't reflect anything and that's what mirrors do

You cannot have a mirror without a reflection.

pretty hard to answer, well, i would say yes also. As long as it keeps being a thing that reflects other things, it's a mirror.

Middle English mirour, from Old French mireor, from mirer, to look at, from Latin mÄ«rÄrÄ«, to wonder at, from mÄ«rus, wonderful.
Plus, it has the same root as "miracle": from mirer "look at," from V.L. *mirare, from L. mirari "to wonder at, admire".
So, as there would be nothing to see and admire, there will be no "miracle" of reflection, it would not be a mirror any more, but something else.
