For example, when you look into the mirror the shape and size of your body differs as you get closer or move further away...also your right side would look as if it is on your left side and the latter...this could be known as laterally inverted. Hope I helped. Pinkyflam.

∙ 11y agoThe effect produced by a (flat) mirror in which the image appears flipped (left to right).. (Geometric Optics Unit).
In fact the reversal is "front to back" relative to the mirror surface, but it's often easier to "see" it as a sideways reversal. "Lateral" means sideways.

Which Mirror Shows Lateral Inversion?
A plane mirror.
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.
What type of an image does a plane mirror produce?
An erect but virtual image of same size but with lateral inversion
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.
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.
What are examples of lateral inversion?
In plane mirror and in ambulances.
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.

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.
How does a mirror reflects right hand into left hand and what this effect is called?
Lateral inversion

How your image is seen on a mirror?
With lateral inversion. Left hand would become right and right would look like left hand.
What is meant by the term inversion?
An inversion is a grammatical term to describe the switching of two words in a sentence. It is also a term used to describe the rotation of a joint in a human body.
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.
What is meant by buckling of shafts?
When the shaft is due to lateral forces.
