Question
What is lateral inversion? Explain by giving a suitable example.
✓
Answer
When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, then the right side of the object appears to become the left side of the image; and the left side of the object appears to become right side of the image. This change of the sides of an object and its mirror image is called lateral inversion.
Example: When we hold a placard having the word RED written on it, as given in fig A, in the front of a plane mirror, the image of the word RED will be as given in fig B.
