Case 1: Concave mirror can produce an erect, magnified, virtual image when the object is placed between pole and focus of the mirror.
Case 2: Concave mirror can produce an inverted, magnified, real image when the object is placed between the focus and the centre of curvature.
Difference between these two images:
  • The image produced in first case will be virtual and erect.
  • The image produced in the second case will be real and inverted.
