In addition to rotating vectors, there is a way to reflect vectors through planes using quaternions. We'll derive how to do this transformation from the point of view of standard vector analysis and then from the point of view of quaternions. The quaternion formula is actually quite compact and can help give us further insight into the nature of reflections beyond standard vectors.
