Answer 1

Question 1

What is lateral inversion?

Answer

The left and right of a mirror image appear reversed (lateral inversion) because of how we perceive the mirror image. The phenomenon where your left appears as the right and vice versa in a mirror is referred to as Lateral Inversion.

Question 2

List the characteristics of image formed by plane mirror.

Answer

A plane mirror always forms a virtual image (behind the mirror). The image and object are the same distance from a flat mirror, the image size is the same as the object size, and the image is upright.
