Explanation
A concave mirror is a mirror that is curved inward in the middle. It is also known as converging mirrors , due to the fact that when parallel incident rays fall on the surface of the mirror, the rays will reflect and meet at a particular point and form the image.
Depending on the position of the object with respect to the mirror, the types of images it forms are r eal, inverted as well as virtual and erect image , also the size of the images formed are m agnified , diminished as well as the same size as that of the object.
When an object is kept within the focus of a concave mirror, i.e., between the focus , $F$ and the pole , $P$ of the mirror, a virtual, erect, and enlarged image is formed behind the mirror
