To solve the problem step by step, we will use the mirror formula and the given data about the object and image distances. ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Height of the object (h) = 5 cm - Object distance (u) = -20 cm (negative because it is in the direction opposite to the incident light) - Image distance (v) = +12 cm (positive because it is behind the mirror) ### Step 2: Write the mirror formula ...
