Lateral Inversion-
The image of an object in a plane mirror is of same size as that type of object .But it shows an interesting property.There appears to be interchange of the 'left' and 'right' sides in the image,i.e.left side of a object appears in the right side of the image and vise-versa.This property is called Lateral Inversion.We observe lateral inversion almost everyday.For example-
1.When we raise our right hand in front of a plane ,our image appears to raise its left hand and vice-versa.
2.The ambulance vans needed in medical emergency make use of a phenomenon of lateral inversion.We often find the word AMBULANCE in opposite form.The driver of a car going ahead of this vehicle,sees it as AMBULANCE in the car mirror and therefore gives a right of way to such vehicle.
