'Left' and 'right' hand are inverted by a symmetry. Out of the 3 images produced by the mirrors, 2 are produced by 1 reflection i.e. a symmetry => left and right are inverted in these images. The third image is produced by 2 reflections, hence an even number of symmetries => right and left are conserved. |dw:1398858131231:dw|
