What Is Meant By Lateral Inversion
When a flat mirror is placed in front of an item, the left side of the image seems to be the right side of the object, and the right side of the image appears to be the left side of the image. This causes an object’s sides to change, and the mirror images are known as laterally inverted.
Some Examples
Here are a few examples which show laterally inverted objects and images.
