Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a concave mirror when an object is placed:
$(a)$ Between pole $(P)$ and focus $(F)$ of the mirror.
$(b)$ Between focus $(F)$ and centre of curvature $(C)$ of the mirror.
$(c)$ At centre of curvature $(C)$ of the mirror.
$(d)$ $A$ little beyond centre of curvature $(C)$ of the mirror.
$(e)$ At infinity.

(N/A) To draw the ray diagrams for a concave mirror,follow these steps for each case:
$(a)$ Between $P$ and $F$: The image is virtual,erect,and magnified,formed behind the mirror.
$(b)$ Between $F$ and $C$: The image is real,inverted,and magnified,formed beyond $C$.
$(c)$ At $C$: The image is real,inverted,and of the same size as the object,formed at $C$.
$(d)$ Beyond $C$: The image is real,inverted,and diminished,formed between $F$ and $C$.
$(e)$ At infinity: The image is real,inverted,and highly diminished (point-sized),formed at the focus $F$.
