Question

If you write your name or any other word or sentence on a piece of paper and hold it in front of a plane mirror, how does it appear in the mirror?

• A. The letters get laterally inverted
• B. The letters get transversely inverted
  
• C. The letters remain unchanged
  
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A The letters get laterally inverted

Lateral inversion is the real or apparent reversal of left and right. For example, the letter b when laterally inverted becomes the letter d (more or less). It is well-known that a plane mirror causes the apparent lateral inversion of objects.
