The Physics Teacher
written by Igal Galili and Fred Goldberg
This article expands upon the popular belief that mirrors cause the left-right reversal of objects placed in front of them. The image-location rule and image-symmetry rule are applied throughout the article to help summarize some important properties of mirror images.
