Draw ray-diagrams to show the formation of images when the object is placed in front of a concave mirror (converging mirror):
- Between its pole and focus.
- Between its centre of curvature and focus Describe the nature, size and position of the image formed in each case.

- When the object is palced between the pole and focus of a concave mirror a mangnified image is formed.
- When the object is palced between the focus and the centre of the curvature of a concave mirror a mangnified image is formed.
