Step-by-step explanation:
ANSWER:-
- All distances are measured from the pole of the spherical mirror, which is often called origin.
- The object is placed on the left of the mirror, Thus, the incident ray is considered to travel from left to right.
- Distances measured in the direction of the incident ray (right of the pole) are taken as positive. The sign is taken as positive behind the spherical mirror.
- Distances measured in the direction opposite to that of the incident ray (left of the pole) are taken as negative.
- The sign is taken as negative from the pole of a spherical mirror towards the object along the principal axis. This means that sign is always taken as a negative in front of a spherical mirror.
- The measured height perpendicular and above the principal axis is taken as positive. Thus, the heights of the object and the erect image are taken as positive.
- The measured height perpendicular to and below the principal axis is taken as negative. Thus, the heights of the real and inverted images are taken as negative.
