light rays don't converge
(or appear to converge) like they do in a mirror, so you don't see an image form.
Why we can see our image in mirror?
We all use mirrors at home. … An image can be seen in the mirror
because the light reflected from an object falls on the mirror and it is reflected
. So, light incident on any smooth shiny surface like a mirror bounces back into the same medium. This bouncing of light by any smooth surface is called reflection of light.

What type of image do we see in mirror?
The image formed by a plane mirror is always
virtual
(meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.
How can we see image?
When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into
electrical signals
. These electrical signals travel from the retina through the optic nerve to the brain. Then the brain turns the signals into the images you see.
