2. Given the fact that when parallel incoming rays fall on the surface of the mirror, the rays will reflect and intersect at a specific point, forming the picture, it is also known as converging mirrors.
3. The sorts of images generated by the mirror are real, inverted, virtual, and erect images, and the size of the images formed is enlarged, diminished, or the same size as the item, depending on the object's position in relation to the mirror.
4. A virtual, erect, and magnified picture is generated behind a concave mirror when an object is kept between its focal length, that is, between the focus and the pole of the mirror.
5. The image is virtual and erect in nature.
