light is needed to reflect an image off a mirror...no light no reflection

A parallel light source will reflect off a concave mirror and go through a point inside the curve called the focus. Reflecting from a convex mirror will cause all light to bounce off in a straight line away from a focus point behind the mirror.

the same amount of candle light that of wich the candle is emmiting.
Because it has a shiny & smooth surface which helps to reflect the light... Take an example of tree. A tree have a rough surface due to which light can be reflect. So All of this depends on the smoothness of surface.. :-)
When a light beam hits a mirror, it reflects at an angle equal to the angle of incidence, according to the law of reflection. If the light beam hits the mirror at 75 degrees relative to the normal (the line perpendicular to the surface), it will reflect at an angle of 75 degrees on the opposite side of the normal. Thus, the angle of reflection is also 75 degrees.
