Question

Which of the following should be taken as positive according to the new cartesian sign convention? (Note: the object is standing in front of the mirror along the +y direction.)

  1. Height of a real and inverted image
  2. Height of an object
  3. Height of a virtual and upright image
  4. Both 2 and 3

hintHint:

Both 2 and 3

The correct answer is: Both 2 and 3


    An object is always placed on the left side and its height is considered as positive.
    Height of real and virtual image is also considered positive.

    both the height of an object and the height of a virtual and upright image are positive.
