Q: A man raises his left hand in a plane mirror, the image facing him is raising his right hand. Explain why.
Ans:"Lateral"  means "sideways".Laterally inverted image is formed in case of a plane mirror. So if the object (person) raises his left hand then its image will raise his right hand and vice versa.

EXPLANATION:

   If a person looks into a mirror and raises his right hand, the image in the mirror makes it look like the person raised his left hand due to lateral inversion. Although it appears that mirrors reverse images, they actually switch them from back to front in the same way that a printing press does. 

WORKING OF MIRROR:

  plane mirror is a mirror with a flat (planar) reflective surface. For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the surface normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface)
