When an object is placed between the principal focus (F) and the pole (P) of a concave mirror, the reflected rays diverge but appear to originate from a point behind the mirror. This forms a virtual image.
In case of a concave mirror, if an object is kept between principal focus F and pole P of the mirror, then which one of the following statements about the image is NOT correct ?
