To solve the problem step by step, we will use the concepts of mirror formula and magnification in the context of a convex mirror. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Radius of curvature (R) of the convex mirror = 20 cm - Object distance (u) = -15 cm (the negative sign is used because the object is in front of the mirror) - Radius of the circular path of the object (h_o) = 5 cm ### Step 2: Calculate the focal length (f) of the convex mirror ...
