An object is brought towards a concave mirror. How does the position and size of the image change?

Question

Short/Brief Note

Solution

When an object is brought towards the concave mirror, the position of the image moves away from the mirror, and the size increases and it remains inverted but at object position between F and P, the image is virtual, magnified, and erect.
