释义

Reflection

The operation of exchanging all points of a mathematical object with their Mirror Images(i.e., reflections in a mirror). Objects which do not change Handedness under reflection are said to beAmphichiral; those that do are said to be Chiral.


If the Plane of reflection is taken as the -Plane, the reflection in 2- or 3-D Space consists ofmaking the transformation for each point. Consider an arbitrary point and a Plane specifiedby the equation

(1)

This Plane has Normal Vector
(2)

and the Point-Plane Distance is
(3)

The position of the point reflected in the given plane is therefore given by
 
 (4)
