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