Is sign convention for mirror and lenses are same? Yes or No. Justify your answer.​

Answer 1

Yes , Sign convention for lens and mirrors are same. For converging mirror it's same for converging lens and for diverging mirror it's same for diverging lens.

Here , аre the sign соnventiоn fоr lenses and mirrors , tо find out the similаr rules init ::

Nèw Сàrtesiаn Sign Convention is used for measuring and marking the sizes and distances of objects and images from spherical mirrors.

According to this sign convention ::

• The principal axis is conceived as X - axis of the Cartesian System $.$

• The pole of the mirror is considered as origin.

• An object is always kept to the left side of the spherical mirror.

• Incident rays coming from the object to the mirror are drawn from left to right.

• All distances are measured from the pole and are measured parallel to the principal axis.

• All distances measured to the right side of the pole (origin) , along the positive X - axis are taken as positive ( + ).

• All distances measured to the left side of the pole (origin) , along the negative X - axis are taken as negative ( - ).

• Distances measured in a perpendicular direction above the principal axis are considered as positive.

• Distances measured in a perpendicular direction below the principal axis are considered as negative.

According to this sign conventions for lenses ::

• The principal axis is conceived as X - axis.

• The Òрtiсаl сentrè оf the mirrоr is соnsidèred аs òrigiñ.

• Аn оbjeсt is аlwаys put tо L.H.S оf mirrоr.

• Incident rays from the object to the lens are drawn from left to right.

• All distances are measured from the optical centre and are measured parallel to the principal axis.

• All distances measured to the right side of the optical centre (origin) , along the positive X - axis are taken as positive ( + ).

• All distances measured to the left side of the optical centre (origin) , along the negative X - axis are taken as negative ( - ).

• Distances measured in a perpendicular direction above the principal axis are considered as positive.

• Distances measured in a perpendicular direction below the principal axis are considered as negative.

• The focal length of the convex lens is considered as positive and that of the concave lens is negative.
