The phenomenon due to which, When we sit in front of a plane mirror and write with our right hand, it appears in the mirror that we are writing with the left hand is known as lateral inversion.
- It happens because the light ray from our body through the center of the mirror and the ray directly perpendicular to the mirror meets at a point directly opposite to us.
- Image appears at the point where these both rays meet.
- Hence right appears left and left appears right.
Daily applications include:
- In Ambulance, where they stick the alphabets so that we can read it as "AMBULANCE" in our rear view mirror.
