Summary for Concave Mirror When object is: Beyond C At C Between C and F At F Between F and mirror Image is: Between C and F At C Beyond C No image Virtual image
Mirror Equation 1 = 1 + 1 f do di
Magnification M= hi = -di ho do
Sign Convention do + object is in front of the mirror di + real image, in front of the mirror di - virtual image, behind the mirror hi + erect image hi - inverted image f + converging (concave) mirrors f - diverging (convex) mirrors

Convex Mirror (Diverging)
Summary for Convex Mirror Always: Virtual, reduced, upright image
