Question

When an object is placed near a concave mirror, at what position dose it?

Answer 1

When an object is placed near a concave mirror, at what position does it: i) form a magnified and inverted image? ii) form a magnified and erect image?

The short answer to both questions: A concave mirror by itself never forms a magnified image.

What if we include a human eye in the setup? The convex lens in the eye can form an image on the retina. The image appears right-side up to the brain when it is upside-down on the retina, further complicating the answer.

i) The position at which an object appears inverted to a human observer depends on the position of the observer, but it never appears inverted and magnified.

ii) The position at which the object appears erect and magnified depends again on the position of the observer.
