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.
