To determine the focal length of a concave mirror based on the given object distance and image distance, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Object distance (u) = -0.30 m (negative sign because the object is in front of the mirror) - Image distance (v) = -0.60 m (negative sign because the image is real and formed on the same side as the object) ### Step 2: Use the mirror formula The mirror formula is given by: ...
