We wish to obtain an erect image of an object, using a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. What should be the range of distance of the object from the mirror? What is the nature of the image? Is the image larger or smaller than the object? Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.

(a) Draw ray - diagrams to show the formation of images when the object is placed in front of a concave mirror (converging mirror):
(i) between its pole and focus
(ii) between its centre of curvature and focus. Describe the nature, size and position of the image formed in each case.
(b) State one use of concave mirror based on the formation of images as in case (z) above.
