How do mirrors actually work to reflect images?

I know that mirrors reflect light, but how do they actually show us a clear image of ourselves or other objects? What’s happening at the microscopic level to create that reflection?

‘Sight’ is just your eyes taking in light bounced off another object.

Mirrors direct ALL light back at the person viewing it. So all light that is bouncing off you and off objects around you.
