Mirror Images

The figure obtained by putting a mirror in front of the real object is known as mirror image or we can say that the reflection of an object into the mirror is called its mirror image.

Mirror Image is the image or the reflection of an object into a mirror when that object is placed near it.

Position of Mirror

There are two positions of mirror to get the image from it which are as follow

1. When Mirror is Placed Vertically

When a mirror is placed to the left or right of the object, then standard form of mirror image is formed. Here, the Left Hand Side (LHS) and Right Hand Side (RHS) of an object interchange their places while top and bottom remains at their position. Vertical mirror image is obtained by lateral inversion of the object.

The figure given below will help you to understand the formation of image formed by a vertical mirror

In the above figure, you can see clearly that Left Hand Side (LHS) and Right Hand Side (RHS) have interchanged their position but top and bottom remains at the same place.

2. When Mirror is Placed Horizontally

When a mirror is placed at the top or bottom of the object, then the image , so obtained is like the water image. Here, the top and bottom of an object interchange their position.

Horizontal mirror image is obtained by vertical inversion of the object.

The figure given below will help you to understand the formation of image formed by a horizontal mirror.

In the above figure, you can see LHS and RHS of the image remains unchanged but the top and bottom interchange their positions.

Images of capital and small letters of English Alphabet and numbers formed by vertical mirror are given below

Note : The letters ---- A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X and Y have the same mirror images i.e. their left hand and right hand sides do not appear to change their positions.

Note : The letters --- i, l, o, v, w and x have the same mirror images i.e. their left hand and right hand sides do not appear to change their positions.

Note : Numbers 0 and 8 have the same mirror images.
