The set of all reflections in lines through the origin and rotations about the origin, together with the operation of composition of reflections and rotations, forms a group. The group has an identity: Rot(0). Every rotation Rot(φ) has an inverse Rot(−φ). Every reflection Ref(θ) is its own inverse. Composition has closure and is ...
This is a glide reflection, except in the special case that the translation is perpendicular to the line of reflection, in which case the combination is itself just a reflection in a parallel line. The identity isometry, defined by I ( p ) = p for all points p is a special case of a translation, and also a special case of a rotation.
The conjugates of a rotation are the same and the inverse rotation. The conjugates of a reflection are the reflections rotated by any multiple of the full rotation unit. For odd n these are all reflections, for even n half of them. This group, and more generally, abstract group Dih n, has the normal subgroup Z m for all divisors m of n ...
The translations here arise from the glide reflections, so this group is generated by a glide reflection and either a rotation or a vertical reflection. p11m [∞ +,2] C ∞h Z ∞ ×Dih 1 ∞* jump (THG) Translations, Horizontal reflections, Glide reflections: This group is generated by a translation and the reflection in the horizontal axis.
Rotations by the same angle are in the same class. Rotations about an axis combined with translation along that axis are in the same class if the angle is the same and the translation distance is the same. Reflections in a plane are in the same class
A plane rotation around a point followed by another rotation around a different point results in a total motion which is either a rotation (as in this picture), or a translation. A motion of a Euclidean space is the same as its isometry : it leaves the distance between any two points unchanged after the transformation.
The first real transformation is reflection in a line or reflection against an axis. The composition of two reflections results in a rotation when the lines intersect, or a translation when they are parallel. Thus through transformations students learn about Euclidean plane isometry. For instance, consider reflection in a vertical line and a ...
Point Q is the reflection of point P through the line AB. In a plane (or, respectively, 3-dimensional) geometry, to find the reflection of a point drop a perpendicular from the point to the line (plane) used for reflection, and extend it the same distance on the other side. To find the reflection of a figure, reflect each point in the figure.
