Yes.
Our bodies are fairly symmetrical about a vertical plane, i.e. the right side is an opposite image of the left. (If we fold ourselves along a vertical line from head to toes, then each bodily side accommodates the other.) This does not apply to the horizontal plane, where the head stands in opposition to our feet.________________Another way to imagine this is to see yourself in front of and facing a mirror, but lying on your left side. You can see that your left [bottom] and right [top] sides still seem "reversed" by the mirror. You can also see that your head and feet are not reversed. A mirror image is a little like walking into a wall of soft plaster or clay, leaving a 'negative' image of yourself.Go here for a better answer:Why%20do%20mirrors%20reverse%20only%20left%20and%20right%20but%20not%20up%20and%20down%20too.Comment: Here is the answer (without going into too many details).This does answer the question.A plane mirror reverses the object ONLY in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. That's ALL it does.However people often perceive this as a left right reversal with front back unchanged. That's the "psychology of perception" not physics.
Yes. Right handed people can pull their hand away as they write, to make room for more letters. Left handed people have to push their hand over paper they've already written on. Left handed people tend to have a different slant to their letters than right handed.
It is just how they are born. Some people force them self or practice to use both hands to write. It's the way the brain is wired left handed people use the right side of the brain while right handed people use left side of brain.
Because it's not some medical condition, disease or illness that can be 'cured' ! Their brain is 'wired' to use the left (or right) hand during development in the womb. They should be allowed to use whichever hand they are comfortable with using.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that left-handed or right-handed people are inherently smarter than the other. Intelligence is not determined by handedness, but rather by a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors.
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.
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.
Actually a plane mirror inverts an image not side to side, but front to back. If you hold up your right hand in front of a mirror, the images of the parts of your hand closest to you will be the farthest away. It is this inversion that turns a left hand into a right hand, while leaving the thumbs on both hands pointing in the same direction.
No, the colored rays are not reversed left-to-right by the plane mirror. When light reflects off a plane mirror, the direction of the rays is maintained, and only the orientation of the rays is reversed.
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.
True.
In a plane mirror, the image appears laterally inverted because the light rays reflect off the mirror and create a virtual image that appears to be on the opposite side of the mirror. This is why our left side appears as the right side in a mirror reflection.
Clench your left hand and look in the mirror. Your head is directly in line with the head in the mirror. Your feet are directly opposite your feet in the mirror. Your clenched fist is directly opposite the fist in the mirror, your open hand is directly opposite the open hand in the mirror. If you put your fist to the mirror, the image puts its fist out to meet it. You would be surprised if it moved the other hand instead. Comments: I think the question meant "in the plane mirrors". Plane mirrors are flat mirrors. Also, the answer is not complete: 1) the mirror does reverse the object, but only in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. That information is in the answer, but it's not made very clear. 2) The image does seem to be left right reversed, despite this. This is because of the "psychology of visual perception", and not "physics". We find it hard to "see" our image as reversed front to back. So that means we perceive the image as reversed left to right, with front and back unchanged.
The image in a plane mirror appears behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror. It is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are swapped, but not vertically inverted.
Lateral inversion
With lateral inversion. Left hand would become right and right would look like left hand.
