State the sign convention used to measure length of image and object |

Answer» Thanks a lot \tSign is taken as + (positive) behind the spherical mirror. For example if an image is formed behind the mirror, the distance of image is taken as + (positive) from pole along the principal axis.\tThe height of is taken as + (positive) above the principal axis and taken as – (negative) below the principal axis.\tSign is taken as – (negative) from pole of a spherical mirror towards object along the principal axis. This means sign is always taken as – (negative) in front of a spherical mirror. For example; the distance of object is always taken as – (negative) in case of both types of spherical mirror, i.e. concave and convex mirrors. |
