Well if you have ever seen a mirror then you'll know that when you raise your left hand then only the hand in front of it will raise, which happens to be the other one if seen from the mirror's side. Okay, so just imagine that you are standing in front of a mirror. Raise your right hand. You'll see that if you are facing yourself in the mirror, then, from your side, the right hand will be raised. But, just imagine that you actually get inside the mirror and then stand behind it and facing it, then you see that actually the mirror 'you's' left hand is raised. This is called lateral inversion. And why it happens, well....you don't think that the mirror will actually raise the right hand as well. I mean a mirror shows your reflection and if it as well raises it's right hand, as you, then it won't be your reflection. But just another person, your twin rather, copying you. get it? I tried my best to explain it but light and reflections are very confusing. I myself have so many doubts about it. And also, I hope you do realize, that each mirror, i.e., convex, concave and plane, has it's own set of properties.
here is your answer
Lateral inversion" means the apparent reversal of the mirror image's left and right when compared with the object. "Lateral" just means "sideways". ... In a plane mirror, each point on the image is as far behind the mirror plane as the corresponding point on the object is in front.
