To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Focal Length The radius of curvature (R) of the convex mirror is given as 5 m. The focal length (F) is calculated using the formula: \[ F = \frac{R}{2} \] Substituting the value of R: \[ F = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \, \text{m} \] ...
