The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is always considered negative in optics, as it is defined based on the convention that distances measured in the direction of the incoming light are positive. This discussion highlights the importance of understanding the sign conventions in optics, particularly when dealing with concave mirrors and their properties. The object distance for real objects is always positive, reinforcing the need for clarity in terminology and definitions within optical physics.
