Answer on Question #46392, Physics, Optics
Which of the following is NOT true of experiments involving curved mirrors?
**image distance is negative for real image**
object distance is positive
image distance is negative for virtual image
focal length is negative for convex mirrors
The mirror equation assumed that image distance is negative when it is virtual image. Therefore, for experiments involving curved mirrors image distance is negative for virtual image but not for real image.
