Which type of mirror can form a real image?

A concave mirror can form a real image.

Image formation by a concave mirror

• When an object is placed very close to the concave mirror, a magnified, erect, and virtual image is obtained.
• On increasing the distance between the object and the mirror, the size of the image gets decreased, and a real and inverted image is formed.
• Thus, the image formed by a concave mirror can be small or large and real or virtual depending on the distance between the object and the concave mirror.
