Yes, the Law of Reflection can be applied to curved mirrors, such as concave or convex mirrors. This is because the Law of Reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. While the shape of the mirror will affect how the light is reflected, the basic principle of reflection still applies.
A mirror appears to reverse left and right but not up and down because when we look at ourselves in a mirror, we see a lateral inversion. This means that the image is reversed from left to right but not from top to bottom. This is because when we look at ourselves in a mirror, our left side is reflected as the right side in the mirror, and vice versa. However, the top of our head is still at the top of the mirror and the bottom of our chin is still at the bottom of the mirror. This is due to the fact that light reflects off the mirror in a way that preserves the vertical axis, but reverses the horizontal axis.
