Detailed Solution

If the image obtained appears in such a way that the left side appears to be right and the right side appears as left, this phenomenon is known as lateral inversion.

Plane mirror and convex mirror always form a laterally inverted image of the object, whereas concave mirror forms a virtual, laterally inverted image if the object is placed between pole and focus.

Therefore, both plane and spherical mirrors form laterally inverted image.
