When the object is placed at a distance less than ‘f’ (focal length) from the mirror, the image formed is virtual, magnified and erect. When the object is placed at a distance of ‘f’ (focal length) from the mirror, the image is real, inverted and highly magnified. When the object is placed at a distance more than (focal length) but less than ‘2f’, the image formed is real, inverted and magnified. When the object is placed at the distance of “If from the mirror, the image is real, inverted and same size of the object. When the object is placed at a distance more than ‘If from the mirror, the image formed is real, inverted and diminished.
