AI Generated Solution

To determine the location of the point light source in relation to a concave spherical mirror, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Radius of curvature (R) = 160 cm - Image distance (v) = -70 cm (the negative sign indicates that the image is formed behind the mirror) ### Step 2: Calculate the focal length (f) The focal length (f) of a concave mirror is given by the formula: ...
