Question

Explain rules for Sign convention in spherical mirrors

Answer 1

1.In sigh convention always object /image distance should b measured from pole irrespective of concave /convex.
2.when object/image distance is from right(⇒) then distance is +ve
3.when image/object distance  is from left opp. 2 the upper case then -ve
4.when image is below principle axis then -ve
5.if object is above principle axis it is +ve

Answer 2

$\huge\sf{Here\:is\:your\:Answer:-}$

Sign Convention for Reflaction by Spherical Mirrors use the pole of the mirror as Origin. The principal axis of the mirror is taken as the x-axis of the coordinate system.

$\underline{The\: convention \:are \:as\: follows:-}$

✔️ The object is always placed to the left of the mirror.

✔️ All distance parallel to the principal axis are measured from the pole of the mirror.

✔️ All the distance measured to the right of the orgin are taken as positive while those measured to the left of the origin is taken as negative.

✔️ Distances measured perpendicular to and above the principal axis are taken as positive.

✔️ Distance measured perpendicular to and below the principal axis are taken as negative.
