Answer:

The distance of the object from the concave mirror determines if it is a virtual or real image

Step-by-step explanation:

Concave mirrors form both real and virtual images. When the concave mirror is placed very close to the object, a virtual and magnified image is obtained and if we increase the distance between the object and the mirror, the size of the image reduces and real images are formed.
