AI Generated Solution

To determine the position and nature of the image formed by a convex mirror when a point source of light is placed in front of it, we can use the mirror formula and the sign conventions related to mirrors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Object distance (u) = -20 cm (negative because the object is in front of the mirror) - Focal length (f) = +15 cm (positive for a convex mirror) ...
