SIGN RULES FOR ALL REFLECTION AND REFRACTION SITUATIONS 1.SIGN RULE FOR THE OBJECT DISTANCE: When the object is on the same side of the reflecting or refracting surface as the incoming light, the object distance s is positive; otherwise it is negative. 2.SIGN RULE FOR THE IMAGE DISTANCE: When the image is on the same side of the reflecting or refracting surface as the outgoing light, the image distance s’ is positive; otherwise negative. 3.SIGN RULE FOR THE RADIUS OF CURVATURE OF A SPERICAL SURFACE: When the center of curvature C is on the same side as the outgoing light, C is positive; otherwise it is negative. © 2003 J.
