REGULAR REFLECTION
When a beam of light parallel to the principal axis becomes incident the reflected rays will also parallel.
IRREGULAR REFLECTION
When a beam of light parallel to the principal axis becomes incident on a rough surface then the reflected rays will scatter in different directions.

Comment: Unfortunately, that's not an answer to thisquestion.
The answer is: The image of an object in a (flat) mirror is said to have lateral (meaning "sideways") inversion. That means the image appears to be reversed "sideways". Actually it's reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. However, we find it easier, in many cases, to ignore a "front to back" reversal and "see" instead a lateral reversal.

What type of an image does a plane mirror produce?
An erect but virtual image of same size but with lateral inversion
What is the inversion in a plane mirror called?
It is called "Lateral Inversion". Lateral means "sideways". The term is used because the image often seems left-right reversed. In fact the inversion is really at right angles to the mirror surface, but it can appear to be laterally reversed.
How does lateral inversion happen?
Lateral inversion is caused because the distance of the image behind the surface of a (flat) mirror is same as the distance that the object is in front of the mirror. So the image is reversed from "front to back". The image often APPEARS to be reversed sideways instead of front to back. "Lateral" means sideways.
Which Mirror Shows Lateral Inversion?
A plane mirror.
Which mirror shows the lateral inversion of light?
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.

What is lateral inversion?
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.

How your image is seen on a mirror?
With lateral inversion. Left hand would become right and right would look like left hand.
What are examples of lateral inversion?
In plane mirror and in ambulances.

What is the medical term meaning Inversion of the ankle?
The medical term for inversion of the ankle is lateral. When the ankle becomes inverted, there is damage to the ligaments.
Can you link example image of inversion in the complex plane?
Refer to the link for a image.
How does a mirror reflects right hand into left hand and what this effect is called?
Lateral inversion
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 .
