In an image formed by any mirror, the left side of the object is seen on the right side and the right side of the object appears to be on the left side this is called lateral inversion.

Lateral inversion is defined as the apparent reversal of the mirror image's left and right when compared with the object. Lateral just means sideways. It affects all the types of mirrors.
