Silver metal is one of the best reflectors of light. For example, a polished block of silver metal reflects almost all the light falling on it and does not transmit any light through it. But the surface of silver metal is easily scratched and soon becomes rough. So, ordinary mirrors are made by depositing a thin layer of silver metal on the back side of a plane glass sheet. The silver layer is then protected by a coat of red paint. The reflection of light in a plane mirror (or any other mirror) takes place at the silver surface in it.
