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 else can I help you with?
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.
Can a concave mirror show lateral inversion?
Yes, a concave mirror can show lateral inversion. Lateral inversion is the phenomenon where the left side of an object appears on the right side and vice versa when reflected. Concave mirrors have the ability to reflect light rays in a way that causes lateral inversion when viewing the reflected image.
How does a lateral inversion happens in a concave mirror?
Lateral inversion in a concave mirror occurs because light rays are reflected in such a way that causes the image to be laterally reversed. This happens when rays from a point on the object converge at a point on the other side of the mirror, resulting in the inversion of the image from left to right.
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 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.

Which Mirror Shows Lateral Inversion?
A plane mirror shows lateral inversion, where objects appear reversed from left to right. This phenomenon occurs because the mirror reflects light rays in a way that causes the image to be flipped horizontally.
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 type of an image does a plane mirror produce?
An erect but virtual image of same size but with lateral inversion
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.
What is the cause of lateral inversion?
It is caused by front to back inversion. Right and left have meaning only when front is specified. When we look into the mirror, suppose we have left sleeve as green and right sleeve as red. They are indeed on the same side in the image. Is it not so? But the image is facing opposite to us. So for the mirror person green becomes right and red becomes left. Write some letters on a translucent paper. See this paper in the mirror. Some of the letters are laterally inverted (depending on their symmetry). Now see the same paper from the back side. Does it not look like the image of the front side in the mirror? The cause is, of course, that the light ray starting from the object is reflected back and hence whatever looked towards the mirror now looks out of the mirror. That is why I call it "front-back" inversion. COMMENT, to clarify things a little: I agree it is "front-back" inversion in terms of the physics. The object and image are reversed in the direction perpendicular to a (flat) mirror's surface. However, depending on the object, the image often SEEMS to be left-right reversed. That's why it's called "lateral" (sideways) inversion.
