Is it plain mirror or concave mirror producing magnified real image?

A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface

"Real" and "virtual" are two opposite, mutually exclusive categories of images. An image is either one or the other, and no image can be both. The image produced by a plane mirror is a virtual one.


Pictures of real image formed by plane mirror?

When the incident light rays are falling towards the mirror in such a way that the light rays after falling on the mirror meet at any point in front of the mirror than an image is formed in front of the mirror which can be taken on a screen and as the image can be taken on a screen it is known as a real image. So, plane mirrors can form real images.

What determines whether a real or a virtual image is formed from a concave mirror?

A real image is formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed beyond the focal point of the mirror. A virtual image is formed when the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point.


Can a concave mirror produce a virtual and real image?

Yes, a concave mirror can produce both virtual and real images. When the object is placed beyond the focal point, a real inverted image is formed. When the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point, a virtual upright image is produced.
