2 Mirror & Water Images

MIRROR IMAGE
The image of an object, as seen in a mirror, is called its mirror reflection or mirror image.
In such an image, the right side of the object appears on the left side and vice - versa. A mirror-
image is therefore said to be laterally inverted and the phenomenon is called Lateral Inversion.

 When nothing is mention in question of mirror image then we have to consider the
mirror is placed to the right hand side of given condition image.
 When the mirror is placed on the right hand side of the image or object, the left and
right interchange.
 When the mirror is placed exactly at the top of image, in this condition top and bottom
part of image will be interchanged. However, left and right sides of image will remain
the same.
 In letter or number based questions of mirror image try to use combination method to
solve questions quickly and accurately.
 In image based question, always observe the mirror image of shapes or lines to
eliminate options and find answer accurately.
