☛ When an object is placed in front of plane mirror,then the right side of object appears to become the left side of image,and the left side of image appears to become the right side of image.This change of sides of an object and it's image mirror is called lateral inversion.

☛ The phenomenon of lateral inversion is due to the reflection of light.

☛ The image formed in a plane mirror is laterally inverted or sideways riversed with respect to the object.

☛ For example :- The Word AMBULANCE on the hospital vans is written in the form of its mirror image as ƎƆͶA⅃UᙠMA. This is because when we are driving our car and see the hospital van coming from behind in our rare view mirror,then we will get the laterally inverted image of ƎƆͶA⅃UᙠMA and read it as AMBULANCE.

☛ Since an ambulance carries seriously ill patients,we can make way for it to pass through and reach the hospital quickly.
