Lateral inversion is the reversal of an object when the image is formed in a flat mirror.
This reversal is only in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.
However, the effect is often seen by a person as a "left-right" reversal with the
"front-back" reversal not noticed. That's the reason it's called lateral inversion.
"Lateral" means sideways.

Which letters have lateral inversion?
A H I M O T U V W X Y.Comment: 1) That's for capitals. It can be different for the "lower case" letters, of course.2) Also, I'm not entirely sure what the question means. The letters given above are the ones that show "mirror symmetry". Sometimes that's called "reflection symmetry".One half of the letter is like a reflection of the other about a center line called the line of symmetry.Because of this symmetry, these letters will seem unchanged when viewed in a (flat) mirror. The other letters of the alphabet will show lateral inversion when viewed in the mirror.

Which mirror shows the lateral inversion of light?
This refers to the apparent left-right reversal often shown by the image in a plane (flat) mirror. Lateral means "sideways". In fact it's something of an illusion, because the inversion is really in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface.
How your image is seen on a mirror?
With lateral inversion. Left hand would become right and right would look like left hand.
How does lateral inversion happen?
Lateral inversion is caused because the distance of the image behind the surface of a (flat) mirror is same as the distance that the object is in front of the mirror. So the image is reversed from "front to back". The image often APPEARS to be reversed sideways instead of front to back. "Lateral" means sideways.
