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.
Is a lateral face the same as perpendicular?
No. Lateral means on the side.
How do you use the word inversion in a sentence?
Some cities have a smog problem because the inversion layer in the air above them does not allow dispersal of pollution.
How many lateral faces are in nonagonal prism?

Describe the lateral faces of a rectangular prism?
