The object must be located beyond the focal point of the mirror for a converging mirror to produce a real image.
if the focal length is greater than the object distance from the lens
A converging mirror will not produce a real image if the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror. In this case, the mirror will produce a virtual image on the same side as the object.
if the focal length is greater than the object distance from the lens
A converging mirror, such as a concave mirror, can produce real and inverted images for objects located beyond the focal point, or virtual and upright images for objects located between the focal point and the mirror. The size of the image can be larger or smaller than the object depending on its position relative to the mirror.
An object located beyond the focal point of a converging lens will produce a virtual image on the same side as the object. This virtual image will be upright, magnified, and appear to be located closer to the lens than the object itself.

When the object lies within its focal length then no real image can be produced
An object must be placed beyond the focal point of a concave mirror for it to produce a real image. This real image will be inverted and located on the same side of the mirror as the object.
Concave mirrors can produce virtual upright images that are smaller than the original object when the object is placed beyond the focal point of the mirror. This type of image is formed due to the behavior of light rays reflecting off the mirror surface and converging at a point.
A flat mirror produces a virtual image that is upright, the same size as the object, and with the same orientation as the object. The image appears to be located behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror.
The object should be placed beyond the focal point of the concave mirror. This will produce a larger, magnified image located behind the mirror. By positioning the object past the focal point, the reflected rays will converge to form an image that is larger compared to the object.
When an object is placed closer to a concave mirror than its focal length, the image formed is virtual, upright, and magnified. The image is located behind the mirror, and the rays of light appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror rather than converging at a real focal point.
