Write 2 rules Of the new cartesian Sign convention for spherical mirrors
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 6 months ago

According to the New Cartesian Sign Convention, the pole (P) of the mirror is taken as the origin.  The principal axis of the mirror is taken as the x-axis (X’X) of the coordinate system. The conventions are as follows:

(i)   The object is always placed to the left of the mirror. This implies that the light from the object falls on the mirror from the left-hand side.

(ii) All distances parallel to the principal axis are measured from the pole of the mirror.

(iii) All the distances measured to the right of the origin (along + x-axis) are taken as positive while those measured to the left of the origin (along – x-axis) are taken as negative.

(iv) Distances measured perpendicular to and above the principal axis (along + y-axis) are taken as positive.

(v)   Distances measured perpendicular to and below the principal axis (along –y-axis) are taken as negative.
