To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the principles of geometrical optics, particularly focusing on concave mirrors. ### Given Data: - Height of the object (h₀) = 2.0 cm - Distance of the object from the mirror (u) = -12 cm (negative because the object is in front of the mirror) - Height of the image (hᵢ) = -5.0 cm (negative because the image is inverted) ### Step 1: Calculate the Magnification ...
