Explain how to read the following message which was found on some blotting paper:
The impression on blotting paper is the mirror image of the written message. So, to read the message found on some blotting paper, hold the written message in front of a plane mirror so that the mirror produces a laterally inverted image of this message. Now, the mirror shows the message as 'meet me at midnight.'
Explanation
Lateral inversion is one of the characteristics of the plane mirror, which means the right side of the object appears as the left side of its image and vice-versa (left side of the object appears as the right side of its image).
Other characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror are virtual, erect (upright), of the same size, and at the same distance.
Plane mirrors are used in kaleidoscopes, shaving mirrors, dentists' mirror, torch lights, etc.
