To solve the problem of finding the lateral magnification produced by a concave mirror, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Radius of curvature (R) = 20 cm - Distance of the object from the pole (u) = -15 cm (the negative sign indicates that the object is in front of the mirror) ### Step 2: Calculate the focal length (f) The focal length (f) of a concave mirror is given by the formula: ...
