For concave mirror:
When object is at infinity ( long distance from mirror):



 At focus,  Point image, real and inverted
Nature of image
At focus,  Point image, real and inverted

Object beyond the center of curvature

  Between  C and F  , Diminished , Real , inverted
Nature of image
Between  C and F  , Diminished , Real , inverted
Object at centre of curvature


Nature of image
At  C ,  Equal  , Real , inverted
Object between centre of curvature and focus


Nature of image
Beyond C ,  Enlarged,  Real, , inverted

Object at focus


Nature of image
At infinity , Highly enlarged , real , inverted

Object between focus and pole


Nature of image
