Which mirror produces only virtual image?

Solution

Concave mirror can form both - real and virtual image.

It depends upon where you place the object from the mirror. If you place the object:

(i) At or beyond the focus, image formed is real.

Plane mirrors and convex mirrors only produce virtual images.

(ii) Between the pole and the focus, image formed is virtual.
