In a plane mirror, the object's left side is reflected as the mirror image's right side. So when a man raises his left hand in front of a plane mirror, the image facing him appears to be raising its right hand because the mirror reverses the left-right orientation of the objects it reflects.

Why A man raised his left hand in a plane mirror the image facing his right hand?

The reflection in a plane mirror appears to be a mirror image, which means left and right are swapped. So, when the man raises his left hand, the mirror image will show the hand on the right side.


What is lateral inversion of light?

Well if you have ever seen a mirror then you'll know that when you raise your left hand then only the hand in front of it will raise, which happens to be the other one if seen from the mirror's side. Okay, so just imagine that you are standing in front of a mirror. Raise your right hand. You'll see that if you are facing yourself in the mirror, then, from your side, the right hand will be raised. But, just imagine that you actually get inside the mirror and then stand behind it and facing it, then you see that actually the mirror 'you's' left hand is raised. This is called lateral inversion. And why it happens, well....you don't think that the mirror will actually raise the right hand as well. I mean a mirror shows your reflection and if it as well raises it's right hand, as you, then it won't be your reflection. But just another person, your twin rather, copying you. get it? I tried my best to explain it but light and reflections are very confusing. I myself have so many doubts about it.And also, I hope you do realize, that each mirror, i.e., convex, concave and plane, has its own set of properties.A simpler, correct answer: Lateral inversion occurs in a plane (flat) mirror.Compared with the object, the image is reversed along the line perpendicular to the mirror surface. Usually that means front and back are reversed."Lateral" means "sideways". It's called "lateral inversion" because the reversaloften seems to be "left-right", and not "front-back".Even though I know my image is reversed front to back when I look in a mirror, it's very hard to "see" it that way. That's psychology not physics.


When you look at yourself in the mirror and wave your right hand your image raises the left hand Then why don't the feet of your image wiggle when you shake your head?

When you wave your left hand it appears as though your right hand is moving . This is lateral inversion . But when you shake your feet the image of your feet does not wiggle because the image in the mirror can only be laterally inverted and not upside down .


Why does water in a radiator not boil until 110 degrees is reached?

Water boils at 100 degrees C. Using a radiator cap, the system holds pressure, raising the boiling point (Just like your grandmother's pressure cooker). Using the correct coolant mix of water and antfreeze also raises the boiling point.


Why mirror image is called upright image?

You do not see the top of the object and the bottom of the object being turned over. When you stand in front of it, your head remains at the top and your legs remain below. All it does it invert the object laterally. When you raise your right hand, the image raises the left hand.
