A concave mirror of focal length can form magnified, erect as well as an inverted image of an object placed in front of it. Justify this statement startint the position of the object with respect to the mirror in each case for obtaining these images

If an object is kept at infinity in front of the concave mirror then a highly diminished real and inverted image is formed on the principal focus of the mirror.
If an object is kept beyond the point of centre of curvature of the mirror then it will produce a diminished real and inverted image between centre of curvature and focus.
Then when the object is kept at centre of curvature then a real and inverted image again at the centre of curvature is formed of the same size that of the object.
Then when the object is placed between focus and the centre of curvature then a real and inverted image beyond the centre of curvature is formed which Is enlarged.
Then when the object is placed at focus then real and inverted image is formed which is highly enlarged and is formed at infinity.
Then when the object is placed at between the focus and the pole of the mirror then a virtual erect and enlarged image is formed behind the mirror.
