In a mirror your left hand is still on the left.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It will appear that the image raises his right hand.
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 .
A mirror image is a reflection that appears to be reversed left to right, while an object is a physical entity that exists in space. In a mirror image, the image appears as if you were looking at the object's reflection in a mirror.
This phenomenon is due to the lateral inversion that occurs in mirrors. When Richard looks into a mirror, his left side appears on the right side of the mirror image, and vice versa. This is because the mirror reflects light in a way that reverses the left-right orientation of objects. Therefore, when Richard touches his left ear with his right hand, his mirror image appears to touch its right ear with its left hand.
True. When you look into a mirror, the image is a mirrored version of yourself, which reverses left and right. Thus, if you touch your left ear with your right hand, the reflection will appear as if you are touching your right ear with your left hand.
With lateral inversion. Left hand would become right and right would look like left hand.
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.
If you saw your mirror image holding a letter "d" in your left hand, you would be holding the letter "b" in your right hand. This is because the image in the mirror appears flipped horizontally.
