State two positions in which a concave mirror produces a magnified image of a given object. List two differences between the two images.
A concave mirror forms a magnified image of an object when
Case – 1: Object is between centre of curvature (C) and principal focus (F) of the mirror.
Case – 2: Object is between principle focus (F) and pole (P) of the mirror.
Difference:
In first case the image is real and inverted while in case-2, the image would be virtual and erect.
