Mirror images show a left-right reversal.

View page

Lateral inversion is the reversal of an object when the image is formed in a flat mirror.

This reversal is only in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.

However, the effect is often seen by a person as a "left-right" reversal with the

"front-back" reversal not noticed. That's the reason it's called lateral inversion.

"Lateral" means sideways.

This refers to the apparent left-right reversal often shown by the image in a plane (flat) mirror. Lateral means "sideways".

In fact it's something of an illusion, because the inversion is really in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface.
