State two positions in which a concave mirror produces a magnified image of a given object. List two differences between the two images.

Answer:
A concave mirror produces a magnified image when the object is placed in front of the mirror:

  1. between its pole and focus
  2. between the focus and centre of curvature
    In case 1 the image is virtual and erect, whereas in case 2 the image is real and inverted.
