Question

The image formed by a plane mirror is ______ inverted.

Answer 1

1. A mirror with a flat reflecting surface is called a plane mirror.
2. In the plane mirror the left and right sides of the image formed are seen to be interchanged.
3. If we stand in front of a plane mirror and raise our right hand, the image seems to raise its left hand.
4. This phenomenon by which the left and right sides of the image formed in a plane mirror change is called lateral inversion.

Hence, the image formed by a plane mirror is laterally inverted.
