Detailed Solution

Concave mirrors usually form real images.
​​A concave mirror has a reflective surface curved inward and away from the light source. Concave mirrors reflect light towards one focal point. Unlike convex mirrors, the image formed by a concave mirror shows different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror—a concave mirror forms both real and virtual images.
The image formed will be virtual if an object is placed near the concave mirror. Gradually, if the distance increases, a real image of the object will be formed at a particular point. Only concave mirrors can form real images. Although the image formed by a plane mirror is upright, it's laterally inverted.
