To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the two cases of object placement in front of a concave mirror. ### Given Data: - Radius of curvature (R) = 15 cm - Focal length (F) = R/2 = 15/2 = 7.5 cm (Since it is a concave mirror, F = -7.5 cm) ### Sign Convention: - Object distance (U) is taken as negative for real objects in front of the mirror. ...
