Answer 1

Answer:

Hi there!!

Explanation:

Happy helping

1) It depends on your direction of light, you can shade left side also...and keep your object at right. no problem.

2) If your mirror is shaded right then if you keep your object on right, you wont get a reflection..so you should keep your object at left inorder to get reflection.

These all are conventions. Not a rule.
