(N/A) $1$. When the object is at infinity,the image is formed at the focus $(F)$,and it is highly diminished and inverted.
$2$. As the object moves from infinity towards the centre of curvature $(C)$,the image moves from the focus $(F)$ towards the centre of curvature $(C)$,and its size increases.
$3$. When the object is at the centre of curvature $(C)$,the image is formed at the centre of curvature $(C)$,and its size is equal to the size of the object.
$4$. As the object moves from the centre of curvature $(C)$ towards the focus $(F)$,the image moves away from the centre of curvature $(C)$ towards infinity,and its size becomes magnified.
$5$. When the object is at the focus $(F)$,the image is formed at infinity.
$6$. When the object is placed between the focus $(F)$ and the pole $(P)$,the image is formed behind the mirror,and it becomes virtual,erect,and magnified.
