Understanding Mirror Reflection
When we look at how words are reflected in a mirror, we need to consider how each letter appears when reversed. The word "OPEN" consists of the letters O, P, E, and N.
Step-by-step Analysis
- Letter O:
- The letter "O" is symmetrical. In a mirror, it still appears as "O".
- Letter P:
- The letter "P" has a straight line on the left and a rounded part on the right. In a mirror, the rounded part flips to the left, transforming "P" into "q" visually, but since we are focusing on specific options, we interpret it as "P" appearing as "b" in other contexts. However, for our word, it appears as "P".
- Letter E:
- The letter "E" has three horizontal lines. When viewed in a mirror, the right side reflects the left side, making it look like a backward "E" or "Ǝ", but we interpret it as "E" for clarity.
- Letter N:
- The letter "N" flips to become a backward "N", which we interpret as "N" for simplicity, but it can be seen as a mirrored "N".
Combining the Letters
After analyzing each letter:
- O remains O,
- P looks like P,
- E remains E,
- N looks like N.
When you write them out in the mirror from left to right, they appear as "NEPO" (with the last two letters N and E appearing as P and O respectively).
Final Conclusion
Thus, when you see the word "OPEN" in a mirror, it looks like "NEPO". Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B'.
