Mirror Images

Suppose someone stands in front of a plane mirror. If he lifts his left hand, the image in the mirror shows his right hand and vice-versa.

The left half of a body becomes right half of its mirror image and right half becomes left half.

Note:    If not mentioned, the mirror is assumed to be placed to vertically right of the object.

Water Images

The water image of an object is the vertically inverted (upside or downside) image of the object. The position of the water layer is horizontally just below the object.
