Which one of the following expressions represents the mirror formula for a spherical mirror according to the Cartesian sign convention? (a) 1u−1v=1f\dfrac{1}{u}-\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f} (b) 1v+1u=1f\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f} (c) 1v+1u=−1f\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=-\dfrac{1}{f} (d) 1u+1v=2f\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{2}{f}
