It is still on your left as you see it. But on your mirror image, if it were a real person, it would be his right hand.
Mirrors reverse left and right, because they are angular directions. Lenses, on the other hand, both reverse and invert.
In a mirror your left hand is still on the left.
Of course it does. You are looking at a REVERSE image.
When you look at your reflection in a mirror, it appears as if your left side is on the right and your right side is on the left because the reflection is a reversed image of reality. This reversal occurs because light rays bounce off the mirror's surface and swap sides in the process. Your brain then interprets this reversed image as you, which is why it seems like your left hand is your right hand and vice versa.
I'm assuming you are referring to a flat mirror. The image in a flat mirror is the reverse of what is casting the reflection. To test this, stand in front of a mirror, and raise your right hand. The image in the mirror will actually be raising it's left hand. If you picture that image turning around to face the same way you're facing (so you're looking at it's back) the raised hand would be on the images left, and in the imagined scenario, on your left.
I have read that you should have the mirror on the left side. I too am looking to purchase one bar end mirror and was also looking for this answer. I will be buying one and putting it on the left side. Ride safe!
Lateral inversion
If the vehicle came from the factory equipped with a left-hand sideview mirror, it must be on the vehicle.
It will appear that the image raises his right hand.
With lateral inversion. Left hand would become right and right would look like left hand.
Yes, only Itachi's Susanoo. Yata mirror on left hand and Toskuto sword on right hand.
True.
True.
