उत्तर
When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the right side of the object appears as the left side in its image; and the left side of the object appears as the right side in the image. This change of sides of an object and its mirror image is called lateral inversion. For example, the right hand of a person appears as the left hand in the image formed by a plane mirror.
