WATER IMAGES:
A water image is the reflection of an object in the water. Turning the object on its side creates an inverted vertical image.
Water images are similar to mirror images, except that they change from top to bottom. Images of objects taken in water are water images.
In a water image, the top side of the object appears at the bottom, and the bottom side appears at the top. So, the water image is a vertical inversion of the object.

KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER:
In a water image,
-
The object’s bottom becomes its top
-
The object’s top becomes its bottom
-
There is no change to the object’s left or right sides.
CONCLUSION:
When answering questions about water images, the most common mistake is to confuse them with questions about mirror images. When viewing a water image, keep in mind that the figure’s top and bottom interchange but LHS and RHS remain on the same side.
However, the shape or image formed in water is a water image. Look at the reflection of an object in the water and you will see that the upper part of it will appear below, and the bottom part will appear above. However, the remaining portion of the body remains unchanged. We call this water image quality a vertical reversal.
