The following sign convention is used for measuring various distances in the ray diagrams of spherical mirrors:

  • Object is always placed to the left of mirror
  • All distances are measured from the pole of the mirror.
  • Distances measured in the direction of the incident ray are positive and the distances measured in the direction opposite to that of the incident rays are negative.
  • Distances measured along y-axis above the principal axis are positive and that measured along y-axis below the principal axis are negative.
