In a concave mirror, when the object is between C and F, the position of the image formed is beyond C. The image is real, inverted and enlarged. Here the two rays considered are one parallel to the principal axis and other passing through the principal focus of the concave mirror. The image is formed beyond C. The image is larger compared to the size of the object and it is real and inverted.
