MCQ
According to New Cartesian Sign Convention:
  • A
    Focal length of concave mirror is positive and that of convex mirror is negative.
  • B
    Focal length of both concave and convex mirrors is positive.
  • C
    Focal length of both concave and convex mirrors is negative.
  • D
    Focal length of concave mirror is negative and that of convex mirror is positive.
✓

Answer

  1. The focal length of a concave mirror is negative and that of a convex mirror is positive.

Explanation:

This is because the focus of a concave mirror is in front of the mirror, on the left side, and the focus of a convex mirror is behind the mirror, on the right side.
