draw the ray diagram of image formation when object is placed in front of convex mirror. (diagram for two different position).

Please refer the attachment to view the ray diagrams.
Convex Mirrors:
A convex is a spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is bulged outwards. It follows the laws of reflection only when the light rays fall on the reflecting surface in an oblique manner on the pole.
Image Formation by convex mirrors:
A convex mirror always forms a virtual and erect image. There are two image formation cases for a convex mirror:
➡ Case 1: When the object is at infinity:
When the object is at infinity in front of a convex mirror, the image formed will be behind the mirror (at the focus) and the image will be diminished, virtual and erect.
➡ Case 2: When object is placed between infinity and pole of the mirror:
When the object is between infinity and pole of the mirror, the image formed will be behind the mirror - between the pole and the focus. The image will be diminished in size and virtual and erect in nature.
