Definition of reflection

Introduction:
In this article let me help you on reflection definition. In mathematics, the topic (rotations, transformations, reflections) which deals with the shapes, figures, lines and planes is known as geometry. The change of shape’s size, structure and angles known as transformation. These types of changes in shapes are generally known as geometric transformations. This geometric transformations gives new dimension to the original images. Due to transformation, the original image is transformed to new dimension.

Reflection:
Reflection is one kind of transformation. Reflection means original figures is flipped or reflected along the axis of reflection. Commonly reflections mean, reflecting the original figure in opposite direction. This could also help us on bar graphs. In reflection, the heights, width, size and angle of the original image does not change in the reflected image. Reflection is also called isometric transformation.
