To solve the problem, we will use the lens formula and the magnification formula. Let's go through the steps one by one. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Focal length of the concave lens (F) = -20 cm (negative because it is a concave lens) - Image distance (V) = -15 cm (negative because the image is virtual and on the same side as the object) - Height of the object (h₀) = 5 cm ### Step 2: Use the lens formula ...
