‘‘A concave mirror of focal length 15cm can form a magnified erect as well as inverted image of an object placed in front of it.’’ Justify this statement stating the position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror in both cases for obtaining the images.

The two cases can be there for the position of object with respect to the pole of the mirror:
- When object is placed between pole and focus of concave mirror and the distance is less than 15cm, the image obtained will be a magnified, erect and virtual image.
- When object is placed between focus and center of curvature, 15 to 30cm, the image obtained will be magnified, real and inverted.
