• Location of Object: Between C and F, Location of Image: Beyond C

  Characteristics of Image: Real, Inverted, Bigger than the object
• Location of Object: At F, Location of Image: At infinifty


  Characteristics of Image: No image formed
• Location of Object: Between F and V, Location of Image: Back of Mirror


  Characteristics of Image: Virtual, upright, bigger than the object
• Note that plane mirrors, convex mirrors, and concave mirrors form virtual images that differ in the size of the image relative to the object
