When using a concave mirror, the object distance (distance of the object from the mirror) can vary depending on where the object is placed. If the object is located beyond the focal point of the mirror, the object distance will be positive. If the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point, the object distance will be negative.
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.
The object must be placed at a distance equal to the radius of curvature of the concave mirror in order for its image to be at infinity. In this case, the object must be placed 28.6 cm away from the concave mirror.
If an object's distance from the concave mirror is greater than the mirror's focal length, then the mirror image of it will be inverted. If the distance from the concave mirror is less than the focal length of the mirror, the image will not be inverted. No image will be produced if the distance from the mirror to the object is equal to the mirror's focal length.
The distance from the object to the mirror is equal to the distance from the image to the mirror in a plane mirror. The image appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, so the apparent distance from the image to the mirror is equal to the actual distance from the object to the mirror.
If the image produced is 4 times the size of the object and inverted, then the object is placed at a distance equal to half the radius of curvature from the mirror. This would position the object beyond the center of curvature of the concave mirror. Using an accurate scale, you would measure a distance of half the radius of curvature from the mirror to locate the object.

If an object's distance from the concave mirror is greater than the mirror's focal length, then the mirror image of it will be inverted. If the distance from the concave mirror is less than the focal length of the mirror, the image will not be inverted. No image will be produced if the distance from the mirror to the object is equal to the mirror's focal length.
The distance from the object to the mirror is equal to the distance from the image to the mirror in a plane mirror. The image appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, so the apparent distance from the image to the mirror is equal to the actual distance from the object to the mirror.
when dealing with a flat mirror object-distance and image-distance should be equal.
The distance of the object from the mirror line should equal the distance of the image from the mirror line.
If the image produced is 4 times the size of the object and inverted, then the object is placed at a distance equal to half the radius of curvature from the mirror. This would position the object beyond the center of curvature of the concave mirror. Using an accurate scale, you would measure a distance of half the radius of curvature from the mirror to locate the object.
In a plane mirror, the image distance (di) is equal to the object distance (do). The image formed is virtual, upright, and the same size as the object, and it appears behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror.
It is the point , on the central axis, where light, that is parallel to the central axis, passes thru after it is reflected from the mirror. It is also at a distance from the mirror equal to twice the radius of curvature of the mirror.
The distance of the mirror image is equal to the distance of the mirror object because light rays reflecting off the mirror follow the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This results in a virtual image being created behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror.

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.
