In this study, the reflections in and are investigated by unit quaternions. Firstly, a linear transformation is defined to describe reflections in with respect to the plane passing through the origin and orthogonal to the quaternion. Then some examples are given to discuss obtained results. Similarly, two linear transformations are stated which correspond to the reflection in with respect to the hyperplane passing through the origin and a reflection with respect to the line in the direction of the quaternion. Finally, the matrix representaions of these reflections are found and the eigenvalues, eigenvectors of them are given to analyse the geometric meaning in terms of the components of the quaternion for each case. |
