According to the concept map of reflection of light, which combination of sign conventions is correct for a convex mirror? ![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_65047fc5511a/img-078.jpeg)

A$u=-\text{ve},\ v=+\text{ve},\ f=+\text{ve}$
B$u=+\text{ve},\ v=-\text{ve},\ f=-\text{ve}$
C$u=-\text{ve},\ v=-\text{ve},\ f=-\text{ve}$
D$u=+\text{ve},\ v=+\text{ve},\ f=-\text{ve}$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. $u=-\text{ve},\ v=+\text{ve},\ f=+\text{ve}$
For a real object in front of any mirror, $u$ is negative. In a convex mirror, the image is virtual and forms behind the mirror, so $v$ is positive, and its focal length is also positive. This matches option A.
