A concave mirror of focal length 'f' can form a magnified erect as well as an inverted image of an object placed in front of it."
Justify this statement stating the position of the object with respect to the mirror in each case for obtaining these images."
When the object is between focus F and Pole P of a concave mirror, a magnified erect image will be formed.
When the object is beyond the focus F of the concave mirror away from the pole, an inverted image will be formed
