A Plane Mirror
A concave mirror should be used to obtain a diminished and virtual image of an object. This type of mirror can create virtual images that are smaller in size than the object itself.
The mirror produces a virtual image, which means it appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror. This virtual image is upright and the same size as the object.
A plane mirror forms 1 virtual image and no real image. The virtual image is behind the mirror, at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, erect, in mirror image left-right.
To get a virtual upright and smaller image from a convex mirror, place the object in front of the mirror but between its focal point and the mirror. This will produce a virtual image on the same side as the object that is upright and smaller than the object.
A plane mirror does not produce magnification on an object. It produces a virtual image that is the same size as the object and has the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.

A concave mirror.
A concave mirror forms a virtual and erect image for all positions of the object when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror. In this scenario, the reflected rays diverge, creating an upright and virtual image that appears behind the mirror.
if the focal length is greater than the object distance from the lens
A concave mirror can produce only virtual images that are the same size as the object when the object is placed at the focal point of the mirror. This is known as the case of magnification of +1.
When the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror in a concave mirror, an enlarged virtual image equal in size to the object is formed. In this case, the image distance is greater than the object distance, and the image is virtual, upright, and magnified.
A concave mirror with its object placed between the focal point and the mirror forms a virtual image of the same size. This image is upright and located behind the mirror.
1. Image is upright 2. Image is virtual 3. Image is of same size as object 4. Image is laterally inverted 5. Distance from object to mirror is equal to the distance from the mirror to the image
